Granny Smith wants to bake an apple pie, but she doesn't have any
apples. So off she goes with a basketful of plums in hopes that she can
make a trade. Granny swaps plums for feathers, feathers for flowers,
flowers for a gold coin, a gold coin for a puppy, and a puppy for what
she hoped to find in the first place--apples! Then she bakes a delicious
apple pie for everyone she has met along the way. Based on an English
folktale, each spread is meticulously illustrated in bas-relief made
from baked clay, hand-sewn clothing, and mixed media. Author and
Illustrator notes and an apple pie recipe are also included.
