Why read it?
1 author picked Time for Cranberries as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I first discovered Time for Cranberries when looking for comparative titles for my own book.
But where mine follows the growth and harvest cycle of pecans, Lislâs follows the harvest process for cranberriesâfrom field to Thanksgiving table (though like my book, hers is not a holiday title).

From Roxanne's list on farm-to-table for kids.
