Apple Batter

(4) 1-3 A gardener, Loretta nurtures her apple trees, hoping someday for ripe fruit, while Delmore, her son, practices hitting a baseball, hoping someday for a fair ball. Zagwÿn develops her story through art and repetitive narrative, so the reader sees the parallels between the goals of mother and son. The cheerful, if somewhat overlong, story is illustrated in the golds and greens of summer days.
