4-6Dessert Diaries series.
Illustrated by
Lilly Lazuli.
The owner of the new (magical) neighborhood bakery, Daisy's Desserts, has unusual empathy for her customers--especially sixth graders Emme, a peacemaker to feuding friends and to her clashing parents; and shy and insecure Gabi, whom Daisy helps bring out of her shell. It's all rather precious, but each girl's story--and Daisy's wise influence--will reassure tweens. Blog entries, recipes, discussion questions included. Review covers the following Dessert Diaries titles: For Emme, Baked with Love and Gabi and the Great Big Bakeover.
