Yan is struggling with self confidence. One day she joins a baking club and finds much more than bread and biscuits.

- The artwork is cute but the story is sincere and heartwarming. Anyone who's ever struggled with feeling good enough would relate to this story.

- Like many people, I came to know Kim-Joy through the Great British Bake Off. Turtle Bread gives off those comfy Bake Off vibes and makes for a nice cosy read.

- I love that the recipes for the bakes are included within the story itself. Fantastic idea.

Cosy, relatable and digging the Bake Off vibes.
