"Apples to Oregon" tells the whimsical story of a pioneering family journeying westward to the Oregon territory during the 1840s. When a father sets out to plant an orchard full of apple trees for his daughter, he faces numerous challenges along the way, from hazardous rivers to mischievous wildlife. The daughter, determined to ensure her father's dream comes true, navigates the journey's hardships with humor and resolve. With vibrant illustrations and a heartwarming narrative, the book celebrates family, the spirit of adventure, and the importance of perseverance in following one’s dreams.
