Bloom

Even though Ari used to like working there, he finds it impossible to imagine a life wasted on hot ovens and rising bread. However, Ari meets Hector, a laid-back man who loves baking as much as Ari does, while interviewing potential replacements. Love is about to blossom as they get closer over loaves of bread—that is, assuming Ari doesn't sabotage everything first.

In this dish of beautifully drawn baking scenes and blushing adolescent love, writer Kevin Panetta and illustrator Savanna Ganucheau create a delectable tale in which our decisions might have dreadful results, but the ones we love can support us in our journey towards growth.
