"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.ĮMILY JENKINS has written many highly acclaimed books for children, including Water in the Park, a Booklist Editors' Choice and a Bulletin Blue Ribbon Book Lemonade in Winter, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year and two Boston Globe–Horn Book Honor Books: Five Creatures and That New Animal. Includes a recipe for blackberry fool and notes from the author and illustrator about their research. Kids and parents alike will delight in discovering the differences in daily life over the course of four centuries. The same dessert is prepared by an enslaved girl and her mother in 1810 in Charleston, South Carolina by a mother and daughter in 1910 in Boston and finally by a boy and his father in present-day San Diego.
In 1710, a girl and her mother in Lyme, England, prepare a blackberry fool, picking wild blackberries and beating cream from their cow with a bundle of twigs. This richly detailed book ingeniously shows how food, technology, and even families have changed throughout American history. From highly acclaimed author Jenkins and Caldecott Medal–winning illustrator Blackall comes a fascinating picture book in which four families, in four different cities, over four centuries, make the same delicious dessert: blackberry fool.
