Swirl of Sadie

Say hello to Sadie … a superstar baker with a big heart!

In this book, Sadie needs to:

– perform a yummy role for her school movie night.
– bake pup-friendly treats for a perfect puppy playdate.
– whip up two desserts for a special family banquet.

But Sadie’s sweet intentions do not always go to plan! Her movie night ice creams are too melty to serve. The puppy treats are not behaving. And her banquet turns into a double dessert disaster! Can Sadie find a way to save the day?

In these three sprinkle-filled stories (complete with recipes!) the unstoppable Sadie shows that any problem can be solved with generosity, kindness and, of course, a swirl of something delicious.

About the Author

Lana LOVES writing kids’ books just as much as Sadie LOVES sprinkles! Her writing is endlessly inspired by her young daughters, who she lovingly calls her little book butterflies. Lana spends many hours treasure hunting in bookshops and attempting messy home bakes. Before Lana started writing kids’ books, she worked on creating brand stories for some of Australia’s most favourite products, including developing ideas for new baking products. Now, she hopes to inspire a love of storytelling through her books and sensationally sweet characters.

About the Illustrator

Joanie Stone was born and raised in Virginia, where she still lives today with her husband and young daughter. She spends her days painting in her light-filled studio in the country, surrounded by nature. She uses her background in traditional hand-drawn animation to bring life and movement to her characters and fills her images with textures reminiscent of children’s books from the past. She hopes her images will inspire kids to pick up a pencil and create their own worlds through stories and art.
