A story about cookies, chaos, and tiny humans “helping” in the kitchen.
If you’ve ever tried baking with a child, you already know:
someone will crack an egg directly onto the floor
at least one ingredient will mysteriously disappear
emotions may become extremely large over butter
and somehow there will still be flour in your house three days later
Allegra Bakes a Cookie is a warm, funny picture book about baking together, making mistakes, trying again, and discovering that the best memories are usually the messy ones.
Written by Australian-born NYC mum Melissa Curmi, this story gently introduces executive function skills — things like patience, planning, resilience, focus, and problem-solving — without sounding like homework disguised as fun.
Because little kids do not want a lecture.
They want cookies.
And honestly? Fair enough.
