Showing love through feeding others is embedded in so many cultures - this was a beautiful book to read. Not only does it go through the way you can make someone's day better, but it also shows how important it is to not give up & always be ready to let love in. I think this is a wonderful book for kids to get into cooking and to show them that it can be a bonding experience with other people.

Thank you Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books, Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

an adorable story about spreading kindness to those in your life. The kind gesture does not have to be huge like making cookies for someone-it can be as simple as giving someone a hug. Working together and being there for each other is an important life lesson for young readers and they will see the power behind being kind throughout this book.
I like the pictures throughout this book too- the bright bold colors are very appealing

I received an electronic ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books through NetGalley.
Timms shares about love on so many levels. Readers see this grandmother and grandchild share a special relationship that nurtures both. Then, we watch as cookies and love are shared with so many others to bring a bit of joy in each situation. Finally, we see the community rally to repair the Community Center to spread the love further.
I appreciate the message and the simple delivery style that will reach readers of all ages. The illustrations offer more information about each character and the journey they are on. Looking forward to sharing this one with classes.

A sweet, charming and lyrical read that celebrates love and its power. Indeed some things are multipled when shared. The rhymes are natural and delightful, while the artwork is lively and vibrant. I love how the book also acknowledges that adversity is inevitable and there will be hard days, making its overall message all the more meaningful and authentic.

This was a very cute book. My daughter also enjoyed it. As we say in our house, "we love love." I also really enjoyed the style of illustration, which reminded me of Madeline.

This reading has been like a blanket over your shoulders, like the best recipe in the world to feel good, like the best hug in the world.
I have been reading it and I have felt as if my heart was being pinched.
The illustrations that accompany the text are wonderful and both the narrative and the drawings make this book a magical read.
I would love to read more books by this writer.

This book has beautiful illustrations and is warm and colourful which will encourage younger children to read them.

The story in the books is about love and community and how baking can bring everyone together. And how when baking you add love to your bakes.

Would look great on the bookcase of any child

This book tells a sweet, rhyming story about the immense power of love. The accompanying illustrations are just delightful; at times they are bright and vibrant, while at others they are a bit more gentle.

This book would make for a nice read to a child and the adult might just love it too.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

"A pinch of love is magic, like a spell or secret wish."
This book is a joy to read out loud! I loved it from start to finish. The words and pictures take you on a journey that warms your heart and fills your belly metaphorically. I was hoping for a recipe at the end, but I enjoyed imagining everything the characters in this book are baking!

I would buy this book for toddlers, baker friends, and elementary school classes. 5 STARS! Thanks to NetGalley & Quarto Publishing Group for the e-arc.
