“You’ll want to make bread after reading this warmhearted book . . .  the story ensures nothing about this process comes off as precious except the time spent together. This is . . . a unifying addition to conversations around community and food literacy.”

Booklist, Starred Review

“There’s excellent chemistry between Colombian-Canadian debut author Cristina Quintero’s playful, immersive text and Filipino-Canadian illustrator Sarah Gonzales’s softly textured, coloured-pencil artwork with toasty ochre tones and steamy swirls of buttery yellow . . . The Only Way to Make Bread is perfect for savouring and sharing.”

Algunas masas duplicarán su tamaño, otras sacarán burbujas. En ocasiones serán pegajosas y a veces grumosas.

¡A tu manera!

Esta deliciosa celebración de toda clase de panes tentará a los amantes del pan, chicos y grandes. Sin importar qué clase de pan te guste, ¡este libro es para ti!
