Food writer Gourley peppers her text with American folk sayings and delicious descriptions in this fictionalized story about African American chef Edna Lewis, a pioneer of using local ingredients and traditional recipes. The lively watercolor illustrations show young Edna and her family harvesting strawberries, blackberries, peaches, and more throughout the year. Five recipes and an author's note are included.
