Apple Pie That Papa Baked Book

In Cosmos, Carl Sagan said, "If you want to bake an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." This picture book is an embodiment of Sagan's sentiment. Beginning with the smallest element of the apple, and continuing to the tree, the tree's roots, the clouds, the rain, the sun, and eventually to the whole world blooming with life, this poetic retelling of "The House That Jack Built" grants the very young reader with a sense of the interdependence and interconnectedness of life. Also, a feeling of gratefulness and togetherness is conveyed through the illustrations that depict a family farm, with everyone working together to enjoy the fruits of their labors. Who knew all that could come from a picture book about an apple pie?! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
