Mikki Jo wants to give her new cousin the perfect gift. Something that says, Mikki Jo. Maybe something she makes. But she doesn't know how to make a baby gift. What she does know is how to pick blackberries. But babies don't eat blackberries, or blackberry preserves, or blackberry pies. Adults do. After some quick-witted trading with three neighbors, Mikki Jo turns her talent for blackberry picking into an ideal gift for little Samuel -- and even adds her own hand-done touch at the end.
