Long ago, when the mountains looked down on a bare, quiet valley, Molly's grandparents planted tiny saplings in a newly cleared field. Now Molly and her cousin Sam pick apples from the orchard to make blue-ribbon applesauce! Recipe Included.
Kimberly Long Cockroft grew up in Bangladesh and Kenya. She now lives in the beautiful, rainy Pacific Northwest with her three daughters, husband, and a huge, mischievous puppy. She was inspired to write her picture book, Reading Beauty, after she found her daughter asleep on a pile of books. Kimberly often stays up way too late with her nose in a book, but there's nothing quite as wonderful as falling into a deep read! When she's not reading, she's writing stories for Cricket, Spider, Ladybug and Babybug magazines. When she's not writing, she's out visiting schools, hiking, drinking tea with friends, gardening, singing, or (if she's lucky), paddling around in a kayak. She hopes you will find a good book and become a #EnchantedReader just like Ellie!
