Mama and Grace each give thanks before eating dinner. Mama thanks rain, soil, and sunshine; Grace's thanks (alpaca, road workers...) require explanations: alpacas gave wool for the scarf uncle Fred wore while catching the fish, road workers fixed the bike path to the produce stand, and so on. Balla's cheerful cartoonlike illustrations and realistic conversational text provide a cozy picture of this small family.
