The Little Bitty Bakery

“At the Little Bitty Bakery, the pastry chef was beat--from her powdered sugar nose, to her flour dusted feet." When a pastry chef works straight through her birthday with no time to celebrate, some industrious mice decide to cook her up a scrumptious birthday surprise. It's a happy day, indeed, for the baker when she discovers their delicious secret!

Leslie Muir is a writer, painter and poet. She is also a very adventuresome amateur chef (although she has never knowingly cooked alongside a mouse). Leslie lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her computer geek husband, two high-spirited sons, and a large German Shepherd who will eat any type of crumble jumble. This is her third book for children.

She lives with her husband in a brownstone in Brooklyn, where they share studio space, and their cat, Sophie, can usually be found napping on their drawing table.
