Reviews
Sometimes Cake is a sweet tale about the joy of special days that are worth blowing up balloons and scattering confetti for, but is also a good reminder that sometimes we should just be grateful for pockets of time that can be spent with friends… ideal for preschoolers
Books and Publishing
Sometimes Cake is picture-book perfection at its scrumptious best! If this book were a cake, I’d gobble it up again and again and again. In every way, it reads a treat. The text is simple and effortless without a word misplaced, and the soft water-colour illustrations bring a playful, whimsical feel to the story.
Readings
Highly recommended. I love the sparse text, brimming with subtle overtones, encouraging children to be more aware of how their friends are feeling.

A charming story… The illustrations are equally delightful as the story itself.
