Apples to Oregon by Deborah Hopkinson

Subtitle: Being the (Slightly) True Narrative of How a Brave Pioneer Father Brought Apples, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Grapes and Cherries (and Children) Across the Plains.

A family sets out across the plains to a new home, bringing with them a wagon full of fruit trees.  On the way, they forged a river, got caught in a storm, crossed a desert, and traversed mountains, all the while protecting their plants and securing their future.
