The Heart of Bakers and Artists

I haven't read a children's Historical Fiction quite like this, and I'm glad I was asked to participate on this book tour. It's a great story about the lives children were dealt back when child labor and taking care of family was more important than schooling and one's own wants.

I absolutely love Lily and how, even though she's told she's too young, or too small, she still tries to help. Likewise, I love Margaret. She is older and has the weight of responsibility on her shoulders. There is a part where she's asked what she wants...and she responds that it doesn't matter. How heartbreaking that children had to feel and live that sentiment at such a young age.

I would love to see this in schools for elementary children to read and discuss. There is so much here to unpack and for children to learn from.

I sincerely appreciate the publisher and Book & Wine Lovers Marketing for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
