by Ariel Andrés Almada (Author) Sonja Wimmer (Illustrator)
A tale that will touch your heart, teaching us that if we set our minds to it, we can all turn what we perceive as weaknesses into strengths.
Annie spends her days cooking with her grandmother, and, although she cannot see, she has the gift of being able to feel the very deepest emotions and she brings those emotions to life with magical mixtures of cinnamon and saffron, and one day she meets a person who awakens her senses to a completely unknown world.
