Enter a whimsical world, created in vivid detail with stunning illustrations by Alison Jay and clever, lyrical rhymes. Insect customers clamor to dine at the Tiny Baker’s cafe, but when the ladybug chefs fly off and upend the pristine bakery’s kitchen, the Tiny Baker learns an important lesson about friendship.
Fun costuming for the characters!
This wonderfully charming book is full of all things sweet—in treats, in messages of friends, kindness, and helping others, and in surprisingly endearing illustrations of darling bugs and yummy treats. The rhyming complements the story, and the text is packed full of fabulous vocabulary. If you need another reason to love it, check out all the details in the illustrations (like the Swiss Roll pillow!).
Super cute book about helping others when things are tough. I love the illustrations. You just might want to read this with a cookie in hand :)

For my sister Pamela, fancier of the fanciful, devotee of the diminutive, ardent artist and advocate of afternoon tea.
For Ruth and Lucy, the best human-sized bakers I know, thank you for all the delicious tea-time treats
