Blueberries for Sal is a charming picture book about a little girl named Sal and her mother who go blueberry picking on a sunny hillside. At the same time, a mother bear and her cub are eating blueberries to store fat for winter. Through a simple mix-up, Sal and the bear cub each wander off and end up following the wrong mother! The story gently explores themes of family, nature, and the parallel lives of humans and animals, all set against beautiful black-and-white illustrations.
