A little blind boy learns that the princess is going to come to visit him. He wants to give her a present. He decides to grow a strawberry for her. Most of the book is about watching the strawberry grow. The boy says, "Is it ready?" All the animals and the sun say "It's ready". He picks it and gives it to the princess. She gives him a sweet kiss on the cheek.

Adorable illustrations. Also story in Rand McNally's Enchanted Tales collection.
