(New York: Random House, 2023).

From the author of award-winning nonfiction entrepreneurship biographies for kids comes this picture book that tells the story of 11-year-old Kathleen King, who sets out to make the perfect chocolate-chip cookie. Little did she know that her mission would serve as the inspiration behind the world-renowned Tate’s Bake Shop cookie. “This [book] is extra special because I co-authored it with Kathleen. It’s illustrated by the amazingly talented New York Times bestselling illustrator Ramona Kaulitzki,” Sichol says. “Also included in the back of the book is a special cookie recipe from Kathleen — one that she made as a young girl with her beloved father, Tate!”
