The Strawberry Promise is a delightful story about little Isabellas family tradition of picking strawberries each June and making strawberry jam. At four years old, Isabella could not wait for her mother, grandmother, and two aunts to meet at the Pickn Patch, pick quarts of strawberries, and bring them home to make strawberry jam together. Hearing about the threat of rain, Isabella worries that the strawberry picking and jamming will be cancelled. Children and adults will enjoy reading about the making of jam using freshly picked strawberries, putting the jam into sterilized jars to preserve for the winter, and the tradition Isabella inherited from her mother, grandmother, aunts, great grandmother, and great-great-grandmother started over a century ago on the Twomey family farm in Calverton, Long Island, New York.
