A tender story follows a mother-and-daughter pair enjoying a ritual to remember: a bus ride to the countryside, baskets full of berries, and a fragrant pie.

As the sun starts to rise, a young girl and her mother set out on the bus, riding knee to knee to visit their mulberry tree in the English countryside. With buckets and tubs in hand for collecting berries, the two spend a day picnicking, waiting out a summer shower under their tree, and climbing as high as they can to pick the best mulberries, the ones that are tucked away from the world. When the sun starts to set, they head home to bake a delicious pie, all the while knowing they’ll be back next year to do it all again. Author Tanya Rosie makes her picture book debut with a heartfelt story honoring family traditions and time spent together with someone you love.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A quiet celebration of a mother-child bond. . . The book also offers a positive representation of a one-caregiver household and a narrative of abundance instead of scarcity. . . Cozy and sweet.
—Kirkus Reviews

With rounded shapes, gentle colors, and suffused light, the beautifully shaded, mixed media illustrations create a reassuring sense of warmth and belonging. A cozy picture book for storytime or bedtime sharing.
—Booklist

Mixed-media spreads and vignettes by Groenink (Only One) give subtle romance to the sunlight that dapples the old tree’s magnificent branches, the great billowing clouds over softly rolling countryside landscapes, and the golden glint of sunset. . . Lyrical text, meanwhile, underlines parental affection and steadiness from the child’s point of view:.
—Publishers Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars A Berry for You, a Berry for Me!
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2023
Once a year, a little child along with their mother journeys by bus to a mulberry tree, their tree, to get mulberries. It is a long day of picking berries, and filling their buckets. But it is also fun eating the good berries while they work, the two of them having a picnic lunch, and the joy they have spending time together.

After a long day of work, they return home to one of the best parts of the day, using the mulberries to make a pie. Together the two make a pie crust, fill it with berries, and while it bakes, they make whipped cream for the top.

At last, the two of them relish the day’s labor when they enjoy eating delicious warm pie from the oven, with the fluffy topping.

As the little one happily drifts off to sleep, they are tired, but with a full tummy along with the joy of being with their mom, and having their annual mulberry pie.

Children will love hearing about spending a day with their mother doing something different from the normal. The fact that the day ends with them getting a delicious treat to eat makes the story even better. This tale will cause a child to reminisce about traditions their life.

I recommend this tale that is full of love between a mother and their child. This five-star picture book will be enjoyed by children aged three to seven years old. Do not be surprised if your youngster suggests making a mulberry pie!

I took this book out to read beneath the mulberry tree by our flat. It's so sweet. Brought back memories of picking strawberries and making jam with my mum as a child. I got this for myself as I'm a fan of the illustrator, but have since gifted it to children too. Their own copies of course - they're not having mine! :)

A story book with beautiful illustrations shows the great effort that has gone in to make it a success. My wife bought it to send to her 4 year old niece in Pakistan who is learning English. Please do keep writing such comforting and well-presented stories to be enjoyed by parent and children together.
