What to Expect: Best efforts, learning new skills, patience, creativity, family, baking.
Sure to feel familiar to any young reader who has struggled to be helpful at grown-up tasks, this sweet picture book centers around ideas about learning new skills, having the patience to get good at new things, and working together as a family.
Breezy is desperate to help Mama and Papa get the cakes ready for sale at the Buttercup Bakery—there is so much to do and so little time before the bakery opens for the day. Breezy tries helping with the flour … and the eggs … and the salt … but instead of making delicious cakes, all she manages to make is a big mess! Then she has a new idea—instead of helping bake the cakes, she can help decorate them. Decorating is just like painting or drawing, and those are two things Breezy already knows how to do. Soon, Breezy is finishing beautiful iced decorations faster than Mama and Papa can bake them!
Breezy is chaotic but determined, and by persevering until she finds her unique talent, she is able to make a real contribution to the family bakery, showing readers that being young and inexperienced doesn’t mean you can’t play an important role. The story is illustrated with full-page artwork that combines a palette of soft, sugary pastels with expressive animal characters. Tiny details beyond the text, such as the pigeon watching the chaos through a window or the mouse trying to reach the cheese on a high shelf, repay close examination and add humor.
For any reader who loves baking … or drawing … or helping … Breezy Bakes Her Best is sure to be a favorite!
