Pie for Breakfast: Simple Baking Recipes for Kids

Sugary confections make fair breakfast fodder in a playful picture book packed with approachable recipes for aspiring bakers. Hazel delights in baking with her dad and, seeing that they could share their bounty, recruits friends to contribute sweets for a bake sale at their school's fair. "It will be just like a fancy bakery, but run by kids!" Hazel declares.

Double-page spreads each feature a different friend of Hazel's on the left with their recipe addition--such as Caramelized Upside-Down Banana Cake and Easy Jam Tarts--on the right. Cheerful detailed and inclusive illustrations reflect a range of family structures and cultural heritages, and the global cuisine even accommodates some special diets by including a vegan and a gluten-free treat. Add one eager baker and this sweet story is a recipe for success. --Kit Ballenger, youth librarian, Help Your Shelf
