The Tiny Baker

★ “Barrett’s delightful story, told in rhyming couplets, is about friends who don’t hesitate to help a friend in need.... Coming to the aid of a friend benefits everyone in this gratifying tale” – Booklist
“This quaint story features sweet scenes as textured and iced as the baked goods themselves…. A grand addition to any library, gently demonstrating how we find friends where we least expect to” – School Library Journal
“Alison Jay’s oil and crackling varnish paintings are a joy to behold, adorable in their detail as they extend the narrative with period flair and cinematic touches” – Jama’s Alphabet Soup
“I adore this book! Everything about it is perfection” – Books for MKs
“The complexity and rhythm of the text lend it more toward being read aloud to younger readers rather than independently. The illustrations are detailed, and unique in their preparation in alkyd oil paint on paper with crackling varnish. They create a rich and delightful backdrop to a quaint story about the power of friendship” – Youth Services Book Review
