Nov. & Dec. Book of the Month
A Fine Dessert
About the Book
This delicious story follows four families as they work together to make a favorite dessert. The cool part is that each family is making the same dessert one hundred years apart! Follow along every step of the way from picking the berries, to whipping the cream, to licking the bowl clean!

- Grandparents and Grandfriends Day is November 17th.

We can't wait to hear your memories and stories about your recipe!
