EVERY CAKE HAS A STORY

Emily Balsley Christina Tosi

From the playful creator of Milk Bar, this is the story of a girl whose delicious dream comes to life, filling the world with color, creativity, and joy. Original recipe included!
Everything in Samesville is exactly the same, from the people and their clothes to the houses and their doors.
So one night before going to bed, Sammi tucks a recipe card under her pillow and wishes that things were not the same. And when she wakes up, that white, black, gray sameness is gone, replaced with things that are bolder and brighter and wilder than every before!
With her world is full of color and a new recipe book, she gathers her friends and makes the most magical cake, beautiful and different--just like Sammi and her friends.
Things will never be the same again.

Balsley's art, rendered in gouache and ink and composited digitally, features dynamic characters of varying abilities, skin tones, and hairstyles alongside bright, cheerful patterns; fans of Milk Bar will appreciate some of the creations woven into the spreads... this tale clearly promotes actively seeking out difference and individuality to enliven one's life.
