Free Workshop with Deborah Halverson

July 2023

Illinois

Dorrie Meyers is starting fifth grade, the year of the Sweet Semester baking and essay contest at school. Dorrie is determined to win, but her cakes fall flat, her cookies look like pancakes, and she learns the hard way that chocolate-covered gum is NOT a good idea.

Then Dorrie meets her cousin Victor for the first time. Victor is an immigrant from Europe, and he is about to teach Dorrie that a loving family and a safe homeland are the sweetest things of all. With some top-secret tips from Victor's family's bakery and a big slice of confidence, Dorrie Meyers might just have the yummiest year of her life.

My Chocolate Year

Abby and her parents have moved to Israel, where they've always dreamed  of living.  Abby's excited about her new home, but she misses her grandma.  As they exchange letters and emails, Abby tells about her new life -- learning Hebrew, eating falafel, and floating in the Dead Sea.  And through the long dry summer, as she looks forward to the first rain of autumn, she misses how she and Grandma used to splash and play on rainy days.  Finally one morning Abby hears the long-awaited ping ping ping on the roof.  And then something even more wonderful happens.  Kathryn Mitter's bright paintings perfectly complement Charlotte Herman's appealing story of the love between a grandma and a little girl.
