Illustrated by
Glo Coalson.
Mikki Jo's only specialty is blackberry picking, so when she needs a present for her new baby cousin, she uses berries to barter for wool, spinning, then knitting for hand-made booties. To personalize her gift, she dyes the booties with blackberry juice. Even though Mikki Jo seems oddly unfamiliar with how wool becomes booties, her ingenuity is engaging. Coalson's watercolors are distinctive.
