Wild Berries (by Julie Flett)

2/5 = OK
Momma: It looks like Clarence and his grandma went to the woods to pick berries.  What type of berries were they picking?
Fox: Blueberries.  Can we find blueberries somewhere?
Momma: We can.  You know what else people like to pick in the summer?  Strawberries!
Fox: Can we pick strawberries sometime?
Momma: Yes.  You know an interesting thing about this book?
Fox: What?
Momma: It has words in English and words in Cree.  And in the end it has a recipe for blueberry jam.  Would you like to make blueberry jam sometime?
Fox: Yes!  [Our neighbor] Paul made us strawberry jam, right?  Can I have some on my peanut butter and jelly sandwich today?
Momma: Absolutely.  Let's tell daddy that you'd like that for lunch today.
