A child, her family and her friend have arrived at their favorite picnic spot by the lake, but before they eat lunch Nkom suggests they pick leaves for Labrador tea. Once among the trees, Nkom pauses for a moment to listen, and the others do too. Nkom prays, the girls take their turn, then Nkom shows them where to find the leaves. Nkom and Mom rest after harvesting, but the girls opt for a swim in the lake ... though they're quite happy to warm up afterwards with freshly brewed Labrador tea. And when it's time for the picnic, the girls take another turn at listening.
Beautifully rendered paintings in acrylic on canvas show the family outing. Includes a recipe for Labrador tea as well as a salve made from Labrador Tea leaves.
