"If you think feelings can be tough to live with, try baking with them. This sweet graphic novel is about a family trio – Emily, her mom and Aunt Gina – who can bake emotions into the desserts they sell at their bakery. When Aunt Gina dies in an accident, Emily pours her grief into making a crumble recipe. All her friends agree it’s awful, but they can’t stop eating and she can’t stop making it. A useful allegory for older kids and tweens explaining that sometimes we can’t stop consuming things – like social media – that make us feel bad. (For ages 8 to 12)"
