All You Knead Is Love by Tanya Guerrero

5.0

I listened to the audio version of this charming novel as read by Becca Q. Co. Twelve year-old New Yorker Alba is sent to Barcelona to live with the grandmother she barely knows. Her father is abusive and her father is too afraid to leave him. Feeling resentful and unloved, Alba comes to know who she is and gain confidence with the help of her loving Abuela Lola and the neighborhood baker, Tony, who teaches Alba how to bake bread. Themes of gender identity, race, culture, and an abusive parent are dealt with gently in this lovely, middle-grade novel.
