Following on from Love Grows Everywhere, A Pinch of Love is Barry Timms and Tisha Lee’s second book on the subject of love – this time celebrating the love that comes through baking, cooking and sharing food.

In this beautiful story told in rhyming verse, a boy and his grandmother, are preparing for a big neighbourhood bake-off. See the loving (and sticky!) moments of their tender relationship, along with the many other warm bonds that exist within their community.

Barry Timms’ gentle text skilfully links these loving moments with the love that is represented by the food, while Tisha Lee’s lush illustrations give real depth to this vibrant and diverse neighbourhood.

This book is a warm and charming tale, perfect for Valentine’s Day and beyond.
