Mom's Notes: I read this little story on my own a year or so ago. I was very much looking forward to sharing it with the kids. The love that the family members have for their home and new farm, the majestic maple tree, the prized dictionary, and especially for one another make this book a gem to read and treasure. There's a whole lot to discuss along the Freed family's bittersweet journey. The ending was wonderfully "ladycake," and it had Julia googling recipes on the spot! She and Evy made this lovely cake. I think Julia's torch work was a brilliant touch!
