Katie Yamasaki’s newest picture book is an intimate and tender story of the love between a father and a daughter. Dad wakes early every morning before the sun, heading off to work at the bakery. He kneads, rolls, and bakes, and as the sun rises and the world starts its day, Dad heads home to his young daughter. Together they play, read, garden, and―most importantly―they bake. This lovely, resonant picture book was inspired by muralist Katie Yamasaki’s work with formerly incarcerated people. With subtle, uncluttered storytelling amplified by her monumental and heartfelt paintings, she has created a powerful story of love, of family, and of reclaiming a life with joy. Katie Yamasaki works primarily as a muralist and picture book creator. She has painted more than eighty murals around the world, and her most recent book is Everything Naomi Loved. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and their daughter Publisher: Norton Young Readers (October 26, 2021) Language: English Hardcover: 48 pages ISBN-10: 1324015411 ISBN-13: 9781324015413 Reading age: 6 - 8 years Grade level: Preschool - 3 Item Weight: 1.74 pounds Dimensions: 9.5 x 9.5 inches
