Cinnamon Baby

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Janice Nadeau. In this pretty, parent-centered book Miriam, a baker, entices Sebastian with the aroma of her signature cinnamon bread. The two marry and have a child; all is perfect until the baby starts crying incessantly. It's finally a "cinnamony smell" that soothes the tot (sleep-deprived caregivers may roll their eyes). Nadeau's warm-hearted mixed-media illustrations of the multiracial family are endearing.
