This is perfect! My daughter has recently started her reading journey, so I have added a few books to my ipad mini for her to read on kindle when on the go. The cover is so cute and I love the colors / illustrations! This was also a big hit with her since she has recently started baking bread with me! She feeds my starter everyday, and loves to give it fun little names.

ARC courtesy of Astra Publishing House and Net Galley. This story is about a family bread making tradition. There are a new couple of vocabulary words to help children better understand the tradition. I think the illustrations fit great with the storyline. I do think there was a missed opportunity to discuss emptions/feelings when the grandfather is "gone". The author could have incorporated how the main character was feeling and why they did what they did. Overall, it had a good message!

I thought this might be a nice book to read to a child before you baked bread with them but I'm not so sure. The father in this book just disappears without a trace with no discussion about it from the mother. I found his disappearance really disturbing. I as an adult understand the father has passed away and the author is showing how her bread days continued on but I don't think a child would understand. I don't think this is a good book about death at all for a child.

Goodness gracious, I did not expect this to hit me with such feelings. I loved how personal this story was. Food has such a way of connecting with with other people and our memories.
