I could not resist a book with the word cake in the title and a scrumptious cake on the cover!
Edwina Wyatt has written a gentle and playful story about Audrey and her friend Lion who find happiness in celebrating the little things in their world like colours, coconuts and Tuesdays and Thursdays. They remind us that even ordinary days hold small joys that can be celebrated in many ways, especially with cake!
Tamsin Ainslie's whimsical water colour illustrations capture the friendship and fun Audrey and Lion share in their celebrations. Their creativity leaps off the pages and makes you want to join them. Watch Tamsin's stop motion book trailer for Sometimes CAKE on Instagram HERE
In Melbourne we need to stay at home at the moment and our days can feel pretty ordinary. Just like Audrey and Lion, I try to find small things to celebrate. Each day on my neighbourhood walk, I seek out little things in nature to photograph and share that bring me joy and remind me how EXTRAordinary our world is when we take the time to look.
I wonder what small joys you might discover if you look closely in your backyard, on a neighbourhood walk or even around your house. Will you celebrate and share them by drawing, painting, writing, making, photographing? You might even bake a cake!
PS. Did you know Edwina Wyatt has also written The Secrets of Magnolia Moon that I've written about HERE
Happy reading!
