Reviews of the Apples for Cider picture book
“Apples for Cider is the quintessential Upstate NY autumn story for kids and adults alike. As you follow a young girl and her grandmother through their orchard adventure, you get a hankering for crisp leaves and juicy apples. By the last page, expect to experience a strong desire for cold apple cider!”
“Apples for Cider is strongly reminiscent of my childhood in Upstate NY- where every fall we would pick apples and be rewarded with fresh apple cider. Wintle Sefick creates a picturesque scene of a young girl and her grandmother exploring their local orchard, along with some surprise guests! Children will follow along with rapt anticipation to find out what happens in this delightful adventure!” – Laine DiNoto, Upstate mom and Pediatric NP
“Apples for Cider is a story reminiscent of Blueberries for Sal, as both stories capture the spirit of harvest season and the simple joys of gathering fruit… This story beautifully captures the essence of a cherished family tradition and the simple pleasures found in nature’s bounties. This book would be a wonderful addition for any family or library.” — Lori Keating, author of “The Memory Quilt” and “Butterfly Ink.”
