Description
From the acclaimed author and bestselling illustrator, this beautiful, heartfelt collaboration celebrates the magic of grandmothers (and their secret recipes).
Grandmas cake is golden and scrumpti-licious and always big enough for everybody.
Its my everything cake, Grandma says. My grandmothers grandmother gave it to her, and my grandmother gave it to me.
Grandma makes her everything cake for every special occasion. Sometimes she needs a little help when her memory wobbles, but thats what family are for.
Multi-award-winners Kate Mildenhall (The Mother Fault; The Hummingbird Effect) and Jess Racklyeft (Welcome, Baby, to This World!; Iceberg) join forces to share this utterly charming story about grandmothers, celebrations and the family connection of food.
Complete with Grandmas everything cake recipe and room to write down your own family favourite.
