I Really Want the Cake

I Really Want the Cake written by Simon Philip, illustrated by Lucia Gaggiotti

I don’t know if I’ve ever related more to a main character… The cake-lover/ attempted cake-ignorer/ cake-eater/ cake-baker is earnest and honest and oh-so-endearing even as I sympathized with her poor mom– and her dog’s reactions delighted me even more.

The Hour of Daydreams

The Hour of Daydreams
by Renee Macalino Rutledge

The Hour of Daydreams is a gorgeous read that should be relished as one would a piece of dark chocolate cake. Rich with tantalizing characters and delicious prose, this is a novel that readers, both young and old alike, won’t be able to help but savor. —Leslye Walton, winner of a 2015 PNBA Book Award and author of The …
