This is what the publisher tells us about this book: Katie Yamasaki’s newest picture book is an intimate and tender story of the love between a father and a daughter. Dad wakes ear ly 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. Hardcover. Color illustrations by the author throughout. Show more
