"Carrie Maslen writes and illustrates a charming story about a young girl who learns to bake Arabic bread with her grandfather on annual summer visits. The book is a testament to familial love, to the power of traditions to create bonds across generations, and to what is possible when we know someone believes in us. Young readers should enjoy this tale, which is as warm as a freshly-baked loaf from Jiddo's basement oven." -Ericka Taylor, Author and PEN/Faulkner Board Member

"This tender, expressive debut explores the loving bonds formed between generations through the sharing of skills and stories and celebrates the passing down of family traditions." -Mary Quattlebaum, Washington Parent
