It’s always a special day when a little girl and her mum take their annual trip to a field of wild, waving grass where their mulberry tree is. The excited anticipation grows as they get closer — will the mulberries be ripe enough for picking? They nibble as they reach high to pick and pluck handfuls of rich purple mulberries. As the glow of the summer evening fades, the girl and her mum return home to make a familiar and comforting mulberry pie. A sweet dream of a story, golden like a summer sunset and sweet like times spent with loved ones.
