An aspirational vision in which inclusivity is as American as (apple) pie.--Kirkus Reviews, <i>starred review <p/>*</i>There's an echo of Ruth Krauss in the sweetly quotidian take on sharing possibilities and of Liz Gar- ton Scanlon's <i>All the World </i>(BCCB 10/09) in the jubilant and lyrical togetherness, with an added hat-tip to classic ways of celebrating America's birthday with her twenty-first century residents.-- <i>Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books</i>, <i>starred review <p/>*</i>This idyllic, joyously inclusive picture book takes an ordinary concept--sharing-- and makes it extraordinary.--The Horn Book, <i>starred review <p/>*</i>The best part, though, is the positive, inclusive representation of a loving community sharing a celebration, fun, and, of course, pie.--Booklist, <i>starred review <p/></i>Young readers will enjoy being a part of this halcyon summer day of family, friendship, and fun. Perfect for a holiday storytime or for everyday sharing.--School, Library Journal</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Stephanie Ledyard </b>is an author, poet, and teacher. <i>Pie Is for Sharing</i> is her debut picture book.
