Join the Torres family on a cozy, rainy afternoon filled with storytelling, laughter, and the sweet aroma of fresh pan dulce. When Abuelo begins mixing his favorite batch of Mexican sweet bread for the twins and their primos, the children beg him to tell a story. Smiling, he says, “Maybe you’ll believe this—or maybe you won’t—but this is what my abuela told me happened in Mexico long ago.”

What follows is a lively, imaginative tale of pan dulce that magically springs to life, leading to a delightful chase through a world of sugar, spice, and family tradition.

This charming picture book celebrates Mexican culture, food, and the joy of storytelling across generations. Complete with a pan dulce recipe, a Spanish-English glossary, and a playful twist on a classic folktale, Pan Dulce y la Abuela’s Tale is a warm and engaging read for children and families alike.

Perfect for classrooms, libraries, and family reading time, this book invites readers to savor every page—just like a sweet treat from the panadería.
