A deliciously sweet story of family, traditions, and chocolate! Perfect for Valentine's Day, or anytime you want to tell someone "I love you."As a family welcomes an adopted little girl to their home, her brother takes it upon himself to teach his new sister their traditions. For good days and bad, for birthdays, holidays, and everything in between, their family always celebrates with chocolate. They make super chewy chocolate chip cookies in the spring, very-berry chocolate-cherry mousse in the summer, chocolate banana pancakes in the fall, and warm chocolate sauce in the winter. But the boy soon realizes that his sister might have favourite treats of her own, and that if they work together, they can create new traditions and memories together.Inspired by the author's adoption of her daughter-and by her grandmother's chocolate sauce recipe (included in the back of the book)-Love Like Chocolate is a mouth-watering celebration of family.
