Synopsis
A colorful look at the true story behind one sea captain&’s scrumptious legacy that has become one of our favorite snacks.In 1843, fourteen-year-old Hanson Gregory left his family home in Rockport, Maine, and set sail as a cabin boy on the schooner Achorn, looking for high-stakes adventure on the high seas. Little did he know that a boatload of hungry sailors, coupled with his knack for creative problem-solving, would yield one of the world&’s most prized and beloved pastries.Lively and inventive cut-paper illustrations add a taste of whimsy to this sweet, fact-filled story that includes an extensive bibliography, author's note, and timeline.&“A lively offering for reading and sharing that will encourage the youngest of researchers to wonder and learn about other everyday items in their world.&”—School Library Journal
