Young Mariam loves to climb trees, but she is forbidden to do so now that she has come of age. It's a temptation that is hard to resist, and she soon finds herself caught in a sticky situation. Children will laugh out loud at the clever way Mariam solves her problem. Set in a small Armenian village in the early 1900s, Margaret Wasielewski's pastel illustrations beautifully capture the colorful dress and beautiful countryside of the Armenian people. Includes a recipe for Armenian thin bread, lavosh.
