Esther and her mom are supposed to bake cupcakes after school this afternoon for tomorrow's Literacy Feast.

But when Esther arrives home, her mom is still at work, and she finds Grandpa snoozing in his favorite reading chair. "Grandpa! Wake up!" Grandpa reassures a doubtful Esther that he does in fact know how to bake, a skill he learned from Esther's late grandmother. Grandpa and Esther bake, dance, and sing, filling the kitchen, and their hearts, with Grandma's special ingredient--love.
