If you're brave and ambitious, make a batch of jam to relish! Mulching helps to keep the soil cool & moist as well as keep down the weeds. Water plants regularly. They require water from when their buds begin to show in spring until their leaves fall in autumn. Again, remember to use rainwater. I’m also reminded of the scene from The Beach (based on the Alex Garland novel) in which the main characters are chased through a crop of marijuana. THE BIG STRUGGLEThe book was awarded the Caldecott Honor in 1949. [1] Blueberries for Sal was ranked number 13 among the "Top 100 Picture Books" in a 2009 survey published by School Library Journal. [2] It was ranked number 31 in a reiteration three years later. [3] [4] Plot summary [ edit ] I'm Mary Leigh and I'm happy you're here! Join me as we celebrate everyday motherhood and learn together. Sal’s mother realises her daughter is missing and I’m sure this would be a freaky tale if we were let inside her head. I mean, if you see a little bear cub you know the mother’s around somewhere, right? No? That doesn’t seem to cross her mind. She calmly and collectedly sets about looking for Sal. Part of Michelle Martin’s job is being intimately familiar with the wide-ranging canon of children’s literature. As the Beverly Cleary Endowed Professor for Children and Youth Services at the University of Washington’s Information School, she trains future librarians in how to best serve young readers, and as a children’s-book critic, she assesses the craft and messaging of swaths of new additions to children’s literature every year. So when Martin notes that something is mysteriously missing from the genre—that there’s a curious absence in kids’ books where one could argue there shouldn’t be—she’s someone who would know.

One key factor to consider when growing your own blueberry plants is that we recommend growing 2 varieties close together, this allows the plant to grow large fruit through cross-pollination. An extremely vigorous mid-late season variety with an upright growth habit. The fruit is smaller than other varieties, but very sweet tasting and dark in colour. Atlantic is adapted to difficult growing conditions, making it an excellent choice for any garden.

One daughter (my now-16-year-old homesteader) recently told me that she would love to sit and stare at it when she was a toddler, wishing she could step into Sal’s kitchen. Today she’s the onewho climbs the mountain, makes the jam, and is making plans for a dual major inagriculture and entrepreneurship in college. I mentioned the book recently, when I started compiling this unit study, and she chimed in with her love of that particular illustration. I never realized that that illustration was the beginning inspiration behind her current passion for sustainable living.Heroes of thrillers are Every Men (or ordinary children; low mimetic heroes to use Northrop Frye’s terminology.) I got this idea from Intentional by Grace ( See how she rowed Blueberries for Sal here), but instead of using pom poms for blueberries, I used these blue vase filler gems that I had on hand. That afternoon Matthew and Joshua, already book lovers, were happy to oblige their little brothers’ request. I stayed in the kitchen that day when the older boys got home from school. But I could easily hear them talking. “Matthew,” said Nathan, “read how Sal takes berries from her mom’s pail.”
