PAPI’S PAN DULCE

Ann has a great love for her Papi’s cakes and especially his pan dulce!

Pan dulce is the sweet bread that he makes at his panaderia. She can hardly wait to see how Papi decorates her birthday cake this year!

Ann has a special wish to make for her friends who celebrate with her, but Papi has a surprise that might ruin all of her plans.

Will Ann find a way to make her birthday wish come true?
This sweet story touches on the pride of family heritage and culture and presents the importance of friendship and learning before drawing a conclusion.
