Miriam is a baker who makes wonderful bread, full of smells to make your nose twitch and tastes to make your tongue tingle. When Sebastian enters her bakeshop one day, enticed by the sweet smell of cinnamon bread and the sound of Miriam's voice curling through the air, they fall in love. Before long the two become proud parents of the most beautiful and perfect baby ever born. The couple is blissfully happy until their bundle of joy starts crying...and crying...and crying, only stopping occasionally to fall into exhausted sleep. Miriam and Sebastian do everything they can think of to soothe the wailing child, but nothing works. No one knows what to do until one early morning, gazing down at her little wrinkled raisin of a baby, Miriam suddenly has an idea...
A deliciously told, enchantingly illustrated fable, Cinnamon Baby celebrates the special bond between mother and child and the power of the senses, even from our earliest beginnings.
