Cake Mix

Cake Mix: Learning to Love All Your Ingredients is a picture book for children ages 5-8. The story features a young mixed-race girl named Remy, whose first encounter with the intrusive question, "What are you?" sends her on a journey towards self-acceptance. Feeling confused about where she belongs, Remy learns about ethnicity and what it means to be mixed by doing her favorite activity with her mother—baking a cake! Remy discovers being mixed is something to be proud of. When she returns to school, Remy shares with her classmates the importance and deliciousness of celebrating different backgrounds.
