Some cherry pies are made from scratch, others are reheated from the dairy case, but one thing never changes - the love of a mother for her child, and the desire to create something special for a loved one. A sweet story for every generation.

This is a wonderful picture book that spans several generations of women, centered around the traditions of making pies, quilts, and singing lullabies to their children. Even though the manner of doing these things might change over time, the emotional core remains the same.

Unfortunately our library no longer has a copy of the book, it chronicles three generations of women and their version of cherry pie including home baking, baking with a prebaked crust and my version picking up a pie at the market!

Alissa enjoyed seeing how generations of women did the same task in different ways.
