Introduction

Aria & the Magic Apron by Pooja Dhingra and Stuti Agarwal, illustrated by Nirupama Vishwanath, is a charming children's story about baking, imagination, confidence, and learning to believe in yourself.

About This Book

Aria loves to bake, even though things do not always go according to plan. Cracking eggs can be messy, and her experiences with the oven are far from perfect. Still, encouraged by her father to focus on the journey rather than simply the destination, Aria decides to take part in her school's baking competition.

When the competition goes terribly wrong, Aria discovers a magic apron that changes the course of her adventure. What begins as a surprising experience becomes an opportunity for Aria to discover more about her own abilities and the importance of confidence and persistence.

With baking, humour, magic, and colourful illustrations, the story encourages children to embrace mistakes, try new things, and recognise that believing in yourself can be its own kind of magic.
