Illustrated by
Mordicai Gerstein.
In this warm portrait of family and food, the city-dwelling narrator and his grandma go to the farmers' market to buy apples for applesauce. The boy's passion for applesauce-making equals Grandma's, a connection emphasized in Gerstein's cheery illustrations, which also provide above-the-countertop/stove/table views as the apples are transformed into sauce. The final page includes a detailed recipe.
