  • The Hot Cross Bun Special Edition

    Paula Perry

    Paperback (Independently published, Nov. 29, 2017)
    This book is based on my imagination and interpretation of the concept of "that some things may not always be what we expect for them to be." In this funny Christmas story, The Hot Cross Bun comes to life, and local villagers have a series of hilarious encounters with this fun and whimsical character. The book includes a worksheet with questions asking the children their thoughts of why the bun came to life, a secret recipe, a coloring book, and matching full-color illustrations. Was it because of Ms. Paula’s singing and dancing as she baked? Or was it because of The Magic of Christmas the little golden brown bun came to life? The book concludes positively, with the moral of the story being not to lose the gift of imagination. The story, though intended for a child’s impressionable and curious mind, is of sentimental interest to adults and their imagination as well. Children and adults alike will enjoy this book, especially those who remember the characters from this story. The book is ideal for younger children, as the secret recipe is not complicated, however, it does focus on a gluten-free healthier choice of lifestyle while spreading happiness.
