Bella's Recipe for Success by Geraldine Rodriguez, Ana Siqueira
hopeful
lighthearted
4.0
Picture book. Bella feels like her sister is great at cartwheels and her brother is awesome at piano, but she might not be good at anything. She tries to be a great baker like her abuela, but her cookies turn out salty or hard as rocks. But with abuela's help and careful observation of her siblings, she realizes that everybody has to practice and maybe if she does, she can be a good baker after all. Includes a recipe for polvorones cookies with dulce de leche.
This is a simple story about finding our own interests and the merit of practicing a new skill. The characters are Hispanic and Spanish is sprinkled throughout the text, with no Italics or bold print to separate out the Spanish words as any different. The family includes three siblings and their grandmother, with no indication of whether the parents are present or not. A simple story to boost the value of persistence.
