About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking how the things they see in their neighborhood are made, or when you want to celebrate the quiet dignity of daily work and cultural heritage. It is a wonderful tool for children who express an interest in the kitchen or for families looking to validate the immigrant experience through the lens of community contribution. Mr. Santizo's Tasty Treats! follows a Guatemalan American baker through his daily routine, using clear photography to demystify the professional baking process. Beyond the flour and sugar, the book explores themes of pride in one's craft and the importance of sharing one's culture with neighbors. Perfectly paced for elementary readers, it transforms a simple bakery visit into a lesson on identity and hard work. You might choose it to build a sense of belonging in your local community or to spark a conversation about the diverse hands that build our world.
