(3) K-3 Illustrated by Samantha Cotterill. As Honey carefully tends her garden, her young neighbor, Laurel, watches. Every Friday, they share dinner. When Honey moves away, she plants strawberries knowing others will later enjoy them, and Laurel learns a subtle lesson about caring for the earth and providing for future generations. Sunny, digitally colored pen-and-ink illustrations reflect the gentle story, loosely based on a Talmudic tale (per the author's note).
