About the Author

Lora Rozler is a Canadian author of children's books. She's written numerous titles including Words, Freshly Baked Pie, Lucky Me, The Three Witty Goats Gruff and A Sackful of Poems. Her stories embody a lyrical sensibility which is a distinguishable trait of her work. Lora's passion for writing and art began at a young age and followed her into the classroom where she pursues her lifelong dream of teaching. Her role as an educator inspires her writing and offers the perfect backdrop to storytelling. The creative weaving of poetic expression and conceptual ideas result in a whimsical display that spark the attention of young readers. "I love the power of words, the way they can create mood, evoke emotion and transform thinking. Much the same, is my love for art; the way a single stroke can dance playfully on a page or wither in sadness, depending on its tilt, its size, its colour. The combination of the two is where my stories emerge, where paint splatters onto neatly written words, giving them a certain edge, if you will." When Lora is not teaching or fiddling around with words, she enjoys running around the vibrant city of Toronto with her two children. To learn more visit www.lorarozler.com

Editorial Reviews

Freshly Baked Pie is a lovely picture book with very sweet illustrations by Daniela Vasquez. Five year-old Emily struggles to do the right thing when she is told to stay away from a very tempting cooling pie. I read this book with our four year old daughter who absolutely loved the story. She found it very funny, and easy to relate to. She loved waiting to find out what Emily would do next and what would happen to her. She especially enjoyed the voice and character that the pie itself used to try and lead young Emily astray.

As a parent I felt that this story was an especially good one for adults and children to read together, as it invites readers to share Emily's imaginary battle with the somewhat mischievous pie and therefore presents a fun way to examine rules and consequences together. We would recommend this charming picture book to all readers aged 3 to 6 years old, although it might make you a little bit hungry for pie!
