A contemporary fable about a magical remedy for a baby who won't stop crying. Miriam is a baker whose bread is full of smells to make your nose twitch and tastes to make your tongue tingle. Miriam's own favorite cinnamon bread so delights Sebastian, a musician who enters her shop, that he buys it every day for a year and then asks her to marry him. After a baby is born to the happy couple, all is blissful until their bundle of joy begins crying. And crying. Only when the two are almost at wit's end does Miriam suddenly know, looking down at her baby curled up like a little raisin, exactly what she must do. A celebration of the bond between mother and child and an ode to the power of our senses, each delectable word and image of this beautifully told and illustrated story will be savored.

From Booklist

Miriam the baker is beloved in her village. Every day she bicycles to work and saves her favorite cinnamon bread for last, singing as she kneads spices into the dough. The scents and songs attract fellow bicyclist Sebastian, and he falls head over handlebars for Miriam. After marrying, their domestic bliss is disrupted when their beautiful new baby begins to cry continuously. What finally placates the fussy infant? The sounds and smells of Miriam making a batch of cinnamon bread. Winstanley�s text ends abruptly, but both the words and pictures engage the senses in a heady, tangled mix: Miriam has a �sweet-smelling voice,� while in the winsome collage illustrations, her songs and the scent of her bread intertwine in ribbons decorated with hearts and notes as violin-playing cats stroll the streets. Many children will welcome the beside-the-point depiction of a multicultural family: Miriam is paper white, Sebastian is cocoa brown, and their cinnamon-colored child gives the title a sly double meaning. A charming offering infused with warmth, romantic whimsy, and love. Preschool-Grade 2. --Gillian Engberg

Review

... turns the power of a mother's love into about as delicious a story as you could want when the subject is unhappy babies.―The New York Times

Children able to appreciate the quaint plot and drawings will enjoy this cozy story.―School Library Journal

A charming offering infused with warmth, romantic whimsy, and love.―Booklist

Perfection might be the word to describe this confection, a delectable tale in which whimsical collage, watercolour and graphite pencil illustrations dance across the pages of text, in step with and amplifying the latter in all the best ways.―The Globe & Mail

I just thought this was the sweetest story. My daughter checked it out at our local library and I wanted a copy for our home so badly. It did arrive with old library stickers-but I don’t mind it.

I love this book. Although I did not recall in the description that it would have library codes, stickers and library card glued in it. I prob would have not bought it used if known it would have this all over the book before buying. It was for my daughter's bday.

Adore this book and the illustrations. One of our favorites! We discovered it when my daughter was a young toddler, and found a new life for it when she became a big sister since this is about a baby who won't stop crying. It's a nontraditional "baby is coming" preparation book to prepare older siblings that babies cry a lot and we have to try many things sometimes to get the baby to stop crying.

Cinnamon Baby- a tear jerker

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 14, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is a sweet little story, that a mom might read to the older sibling of a newborn. The pictures are charming, and you can almost taste the delicious breads. When the baby doesn't stop crying (all families will recognize this) the problem is only resolved when it falls asleep. Right. However, the smell of cinnamon seems to make the baby stop crying? Why? This seems like magic, but could there be another explanation? I liked reading it and was surprised that it kept my little grand daughter's interest.

This is my error I didn’t realize I was ordering a used book. I was ordering a crap ton of baby products for my business partners baby shower. . . Regardless the book is pretty dingy and has stains in some of the pages. I cleaned it up and she still loves it so all I can say is be prepared

Beautifully illustrated and such a sweet story!

I love it! Gorgeous illustrations and an adorable story. I love that it features a successful working mother and really highlights a nurturing father and husband. The very best part though, is the interracial family! I can't put into words what it means to be able to give my kids a book about a family that looks like theirs! I can't wait to read this to them.

After having a perfect, easy going baby then a very colicky, unsettled baby- this book was heaven to my ears. It may sound silly- but it was so nice reading this to my little ones each night as they loved it (especially my 3 year old who was also having to adjust to a crying baby) because it made me feel like we weren't alone. Luckily baby got happy with some medical help, and this book will always have a special place in my heart. The illustrations are beautiful. So cozy.

Finally, a kids book that features an interracial couple :)

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 22, 2016

LOVE this book! It's rare (impossible til now in my experience) to find a book about an interracial couple that doesn't make it the sole topic of the book. This book is all about a couple that loves each other very much and their first child, their cinnamon baby - the couple just happens to be interracial (Mama is white and daddy is black or brown). My husband and I have two cinnamon babies of our own; and I love having this book to share with them that features a couple that looks more like their own parents than most books do. :D
