Cinnamon Baby by Nicola Winstanley-OPTIONAL

Cinnamon Baby
Winstanley, Nicola, Cinnamon Baby. Kids Can Press, 2011. PICTURE BOOK.

Miriam was a baker that loved to bake bread. She would make all kinds of dough then would knead them and sing while she kneaded the dough. She would, however, always save the cinnamon bread for last. One day, she met a man who loved her bread. He came back every day for a year, then they got married and had a baby. Their little one, however won’t stop crying. Can the couple find a way to get the little one to be happy?

The illustrations in the book are well-done. The text is simple, but does a great job of conveying the story. The story is touching and fun to read. Young children who like babies, bread, and easy picture books will enjoy having this book read to them. Pre-K only. PUBLIC. OPTIONAL. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library.
