Lindoff, H: Mary's Wild Winter Feast

When cold winter rain washes away all the snow and leaves Mary with a yard full of mud and dashed hopes for sledding, Daddy brightens Mary s day by taking her to the pantry and recounting the adventures behind their home-canned jars of food. Five jars with different foods, all harvested in Southeast Alaska: salmon, deer, blueberries, seaweed and smoked salmon, become five lively and exciting chapters for the early reader. The lovingly illustrated book concludes with Mary expressing a greater appreciation for her homeland and the bond between father and daughter stronger than ever as they enjoy their jarred foods for lunch."
