Description
It's always a special day for Iris when Aunt Mary visits. She's a plant scientist, and Iris likes collecting leaves and seeds for Aunt Mary's lab. Today, Aunt Mary wants to try a new experiment: baking bread! Iris helps turn the kitchen into a bread lab with just four ingredients: flour, water, salt and starter. She also discovers how invisible microbes in the air can make bubbles that grow the dough, and that seeds from wheat make nutrients and flavor. It all seems magical, but it's really science! Kim Binczewski and Bethany Econopouly of The Bread Lab make their picture book debut with a story that captures the science and joy of breadmaking. Artist Hayelin Choi, following up with her picture book debut in Alice Waters and the Trip To Delicious, adds bubbling fun with her breezy and playful illustrations.
