Apple Cake: A Gratitude

Written by Dawn Casey and Illustrated by Genevieve Godbout

In this rhyming tale, a child gives thanks for all the wonderful gifts nature shares—hazelnuts from the hedge, apples from the tree, eggs from the hens, and milk from the cow. Soon, the whole family has gathered everything they need to make something extra special… a yummy apple cake!

With soft, expressive illustrations full of heart, this picture book helps children appreciate the world around them—an especially lovely read for Thanksgiving. And when the story ends, you and your child can keep the gratitude going by baking your own apple cake using the recipe included at the back of the book.
