Dad Bakes

Katie Yamasakis newest picture book is an intimate and tender story of the love between a father and a daughter.

Dad wakes early every morning before the sun, heading off to work at the bakery. He kneads, rolls, and bakes, and as the sun rises and the world starts its day, Dad heads home to his young daughter. Together they play, read, garden, andmost importantlythey bake.

This lovely, resonant picture book was inspired by muralist Katie Yamasakis work with formerly incarcerated people. With subtle, uncluttered storytelling amplified by her monumental and heartfelt paintings, she has created a powerful story of love, of family, and of reclaiming a life with joy.

Katie Yamasakiworks primarily as a muralist and picture book creator. She has painted more than eighty murals around the world, and her most recent book isEverything Naomi Loved. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and their daughter
