Book-A-Day 58

Although cherry-picking season is ending, the book Pie in the Sky by Lois Ehlert goes through the cycle of cherries growing.  As the book begins, a father tells his child they have a pie tree.  The child is confused because he sees many things, but no pie growing on trees.  The book continues through seasons as the child is observing the tree, yet there still is no pie.  Finally, cherries are seen in the tree.  The father and child pick cherries and bake a pie.

Lois Ehlert's collage illustrations are interesting as she uses different textures to create collages for the book's illustrations.  She also lists ingredients and some of the steps needed to make a cherry pie.  #BookADay58
