Raspberry Railroad

Beside the railroad, raspberries sparkle in summer sunshine. Fern Marie munches and picks; she picks and munches. Will she fill the little green pail all by herself?
When a freight train thunders down the track, Marie Fern’s heart shivers with delight! she waves to the engineer. She counts train cars -red, yellow, green. And one day, Fern Marie jumps like a frightened rabbit. Does God see the berry pickers by the railroad?
Busy as a squirrel and happy as a blue bird, Fern Marie is a cheery helper- in the kitchen, in the shop, and by the railroad. Mother helps her taste the sweet joy of sharing. Preschoolers and young readers will learn from Fern Marie’s simple faith and willing obedience.
