OverviewA contemporary fable about a magical remedy for a baby who won't stop crying. Miriam is a baker whose bread is full of smells to make your nose twitch and tastes to make your tongue tingle. Miriam's own favourite cinnamon bread so delights Sebastian, a musician who enters her shop, that he buys it every day for a year and then asks her to marry him. After a baby is born to the happy couple, all is blissful until their bundle of joy begins crying. And crying. Only when the two are almost at wit's end does Miriam suddenly know, looking down at her baby curled up like a little raisin, exactly what she must do. A celebration of the bond between mother and child and an ode to the power of our senses, each delectable word and image of this beautifully told and illustrated story will be savoured. AGES: 3-7 AUTHOR: Nicola Winstanley has always loved to write; but it wasn't until her daughter, Audie, was born that she started writing stories for children. Like the baby in Cinnamon Baby, Audie cried and cried, but stopped suddenly on one occasion when she got a whiff of some cinnamon. Writing the story, turning it into a kind of fairy tale, helped Nicola cope with the difficulty of being a new mother to a screaming tot. Audie is a nine-year old now and she and Nicola like to bake together, enjoying the smells and tastes, and the warmth of the oven and of being together.
