How to Make a Cherry Pie and See the U.S.A. by Marjorie Priceman is a delightful, educational picture book that combines travel, creativity, and a love of baking into one colorful adventure.
When the utensils needed to bake a cherry pie go missing, a young baker sets off on an imaginative journey across the United States to gather everything she needs — from steel in Pittsburgh for a mixing bowl to clay in Kansas for a pie plate. Along the way, she visits iconic American locations, learning about where everyday materials come from and how they’re made.
Ideal for ages 4 to 8, this story celebrates curiosity, craftsmanship, and the joy of discovery — reminding readers that adventure (and learning) can be found in every corner of the country.
