One More Jar of Jam

Praise for One More Jar of Jam

“Knowledge that comes with the caretaking and harvesting of trees, a seasonal scale, and affectionate images of an interracial family who share joy and loss together all flavor this personal-feeling tale.” –Publishers Weekly

“A quiet, heartfelt picture book.” –Booklist

“Zhang captures the affection family members have for one another and the love they have for the outdoors; her opening depictions of the mulberry tree as it blooms are particularly vivid. This story of loss ends on an optimistic note when ‘silent, shiny leaves’ burst forth from the trunk that remains after the storm.” –The Horn Book
