Cooking and Baking in my books?

Detail from "Bunny in the Middle" by Anika Denise, Holt 2019

Somehow, even when the story does not necessarily call for it, there is always cooking or baking going on in my books! 

This little detail is from my forthcoming picture book with Anika Denise.

Bunny in the Middle publishes in July 2019, Henry Holt/Christy Ottaviano Books.
