Mónica spends her life around a bakery, not just because she likes the sweets, but also because she loves her grandparents, the baker and the bakery lady. She watches wide-eyed, as the pans slip in and out of the oven and in and out of the appreciative customers hands straight into their happy bellies.
In this colorful bilingual picture book, Mónica yearns to be a baker, like her grandparents. Her first real test comes as she and her beloved grandparents prepare for the coming celebration of January sixth, Feast of the Three Kings, Día de los Reyes Magos. When Mónica finds the baby in the round bread ring that shines with cherries and pecans, the Kings Ring, it becomes her responsibility to plan the celebration: invitations, decorations, and most important of all, the lemon cookies that Mónica will bake especially for her family and friends. And although she wants to do it all herself, she realizes the love and help of family can make any job a joy.
