(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Andrea Bell. This comforting graphic novel blends culinary charm with a sensitive exploration of grief. Emily’s family bakery magically bakes good emotions into their treats, but after her aunt’s sudden death, she learns the consequences of mixing “bad” feelings into a crumble. As Emily heals, she discovers the power of support and self-expression. Characterful illustrations in confectionary-inspired hues capture Emily’s personal growth. Splash pages sprinkled throughout the book display recipes for various confections, inviting readers into her magical kitchen.
