An Apple Pie for Dinner

Granny Smith wants to bake an apple pie, but she doesn’t have any apples. So off she goes with a basketful of plums in hopes that she can make a trade. Granny swaps plums for feathers, feathers for flowers, flowers for a gold coin, a gold coin for a puppy, and a puppy for what she hoped to find in the first place—apples! Then she bakes a delicious apple pie for everyone she has met along the way. Based on an English folktale, each spread is meticulously illustrated in bas-relief made from baked clay, hand-sewn clothing, and mixed media.


“The illustrations are mixed media art and really lift the book to a higher level. I loved the expressions of the people in the story and am amazed at what a mixed media artist can bring to life.”
“The mixed media illustrations by Baicker-McKee are whimsical and fit perfectly with the story to create a solid reading/visual experience that both children and adults will thoroughly enjoy.”
