A succinct text describes how traditions of baking, flower-wreathing, quilting, and lullaby singing are passed down from mother to daughter in one family. Blandly literal pen-and-watercolors show the changes over time, such as the homemade pie of Great-grandmother's time to the microwave version "baked" by the narrator's mother. A musical score for the Brahms lullaby is included. Published simultaneously with its companion volume, 'Tortillas and Lullabies'.
