The Story

In a town by the sea, a little boy named Ellis discovers something truly special - two people whose kindness has shaped an entire community. Mr. and Mrs. Baker don't bake bread or cakes, but they do something just as wonderful: they sprinkle generosity wherever they go.

 

As the boy learns, being a Baker isn't about what you have-it's about what you share. And with just one act of generosity, just one gift, anyone can start their own recipe for making the world a better place.

​

Inspired by real-life philanthropists Patty & Jay Baker, whose generosity has made Naples, Florida a better place for all, this heartwarming story encourages young readers to see that kindness, no matter how small, can make a difference.

​

A perfect book for families, teachers, and caregivers who want to inspire the next generation of givers, dreamers, and change-makers.
