About this book
A basket of spilled blackberries threatens Phebe’s plan to buy a bonnet so that she can attend church. Her father has promised to help with a gown if she earns the rest by gathering fruit. Told in verse through conversations with her mother and a passing girl, the opening story connects a small household disappointment with questions of generosity, poverty and gratitude.
The collection also brings together poems about children caring for animals, learning good habits and noticing the natural world. Barbara tends a pet lamb, a girl speaks to a swallow and a dog, and flowers prompt conversations about God and family sorrow. Christian teaching runs through these pieces, alongside familiar nursery verse.
