At one time or another, most of us have made -- or wanted to make -- jam from berries and other fruit that we've gathered with our own hands. But what happens if the urge strikes "out of season, " when the pickings are slim?The answer is resourcefulness, as is discovered by young Anthony in Maine Marmalade. The lesson is clear and will be useful to children of all ages: If you look closely enough and remain flexible enough, you can accomplish your goal. Recalling the joys of the classic Robert McCloskey tale Blueberries for Sal, this wonderful Maine story is the gift of heralded children's-book author Ethel Pochocki. Her true-to-life tale is brought alive by nationally recognized illustrator Normand Chartier, whose work includes some seventy children's titles. Pochocki's delightful words and Chartier's evocative illustrations make magic out of a boy's desire to recreate a Maine tradition introduced to him by his mother.
