Bookroo's summary
In a time long past, the first man and woman argue, prompting the woman to leave in anger. As she walks away, the Sun intervenes, placing irresistible strawberries in her path. Will these sweet berries mend their rift and bring her back? Discover the enchanting tale of how strawberries came to be, woven with timeless wisdom and beauty.
From the publisher
From an award-winning Native American storyteller comes this captivating re-telling of a Cherokee legend, which explains how strawberries came to be. Long ago, the first man and woman quarrelled. The woman left in anger, but the Sun sent tempting berries to Earth to slow the wife’s retreat. Luminous paintings perfectly complement the simple, lyrical text.– “Complete harmony of text and pictures: altogether lovely”. – Kirkus Reviews, pointer review
