Mariam loves to climb trees, but is forbidden to do so now that she has turned 12. It's a temptation that's hard to resist though and she soon finds herself caught in a sticky situation. Set in a small Armenian village in the early 1900s, the book's vivid illustrations capture the colorful dress and beautiful countryside of the Amenian people. Includes a recipe for Armenian cracker bread, Lavosh.
