Illustrated by
Heather Austin.
When Lily crafts a basket decorated with a water lily, she expects high praise from her relatives. Instead, each of them admires the basket briefly but says they must return to work since, "many hands make the basket." In this message-y story, Penobscot basketry is shown to be a community effort. The illustrations are occasionally awkward.
