Pie is for Sharing

AUTHOR: Stephanie P. Ledyard
ILLUSTRATOR: Jason Chin

From the Publisher:

A picnic, a beach, a pie cut into pieces and shared with good friends.
Pie is for sharing.
It starts off round, and you can slice it into as many pieces as you want. What else can be shared? A ball, of course. A tree? What about time?
Through the course of one memorable Fourth of July picnic, Stephanie Ledyard and Jason Chin take young readers through the ups and downs of sharing in this lovely picture book.

Leah’s Thoughts:

This is such a lovely Fourth of July book, but it works just as well all summer long. It’s not a plot-heavy story. More like a gentle poem that celebrates community, generosity, and the joy of simple things. The illustrations are full of warmth and real-life detail.
