See your favorite classic authors in ways you have never seen them before: making pastries, cakes, pies, and cookies! This coloring book is designed for anyone who loves literature and baking. It features 14 illustrations of authors making sweet treats. Each illustration is paired with a quote pulled from the author’s body of work and modified to fit with the baking theme. The book ends with a full list of the authors’ names, unmodified quotes, and where the quote originates. This coloring book is fun for classroom contexts or for adults who love literature and coloring. This book is only a coloring book. It contains no recipes.

About the author/illustrator: Lisa has pictures in her brain, and she needs to get them out. She’s not a great artist, but she tries very hard. She lives next door to her parents and brother in a 175-year-old log cabin with two cats, eight hens, and one ornery rooster. When she’s not doodling or tending to her critters, she teaches Writing, Food Anthropology, Literary Theory, and Linguistics at a small liberal arts university about two hours east of Pittsburgh. She loves to read and watch NHL and PWHL hockey, often at the same time. This is her first coloring book.
