I think of the time I read “Little House in the Big Woods” and the way it smells of cinnamon apples in the kitchen. It’s a story that feels like a recipe itself, with warm dough and a little house full of love. If you want something that smells like cinnamon and feels like a tale, try “The Hundred‑Year‑Old Tree” – it’s about a grandmother who tells stories while making cinnamon scones. For a quick story‑inspired recipe, mix butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon, roll into dough, cut into squares, bake till golden – the kitchen will smell like a book and your taste buds will smile.

That sounds wonderful! I’ll finish the chapter, then you can whisk together the scones. While you’re in the kitchen, I’ll think of a gentle book for you. How about “The Little Book of Cinnamon” – it’s a short, sweet story that’s like a warm hug. It’ll pair nicely with your baking, and you’ll have a book to read while you taste the cinnamon aroma. Enjoy your literary loaf!

I’ll set a timer for you, just in case the scones turn into a tower. While you’re whisking, I’ll read a chapter of “The Little Book of Cinnamon” and hum along with the spice‑anthem. When the timer dings, we’ll enjoy the warm, buttery pages and the sweet, cinnamon‑kissed scones together. Good luck, and remember, slow and steady wins the baking race!
