Bookroo's summary

Pablo faces a delicious dilemma: what bakery treat best represents his mixed heritage for International Day? With a Mexican mother and Jewish father, the options are rich and varied. As he helps in the family bakery, will he find the perfect blend of cultures in a single dish? Discover how Pablo's culinary journey leads to a heartwarming revelation.

From the publisher

Pablo can’t decide what to take to school for International Day. He wants to pick something from the bakery his parents own, something that represents his heritage, but what? There are the pan dulce and chango bars his Mexican mother prepares, but the bagels and challah made by his Jewish father are equally tempting. Then, when Pablo begins to help his parents prepare the Sunday morning baking, he comes up with the perfect choice.
