Miguel’s Missing Ingredient

A Story About Baking, Creativity and Joy

BY JIMMY GEE · COLOURING BOOK EDITION · AGES 4–8

Miguel loves to bake. But when his latest recipe doesn’t taste quite right, he sets off to discover the one ingredient he seems to be missing.

The answer may not be something he can find in the kitchen at all.

Inside the story

A little story about a very important ingredient.

Baking is usually a matter of flour, butter, sugar and following the recipe. Miguel soon discovers that sometimes the thing that makes something truly special can’t be measured with a spoon.

Warm, playful and made to be shared, Miguel’s Missing Ingredient combines story time with colouring and creative play for young readers and their families.
