Reviews
Ruel's bright, colorful cartoons perfectly capture the love and humor of learning to bake. Rivka's and Bubbie's large, round brown eyes, facial expressions, and body language dramatically express every emotion and reaction. Young readers and their grands will feel the love and connect to their own family traditions. * Kirkus Reviews *
The blend of hand-done and digital techniques echo the book's theme of new-meets-old, and its iterative structure underlines the idea that 'practice makes progress.' * Publishers Weekly *
