FEATURED STORY
The Pastry Problem
A story about friendship, misunderstandings, and learning that sometimes there’s more to the story than we first realize.
When Pandy sees her friends together at the bakery after she wasn’t invited, she feels hurt and left out. But what looks like an unfriendly choice turns out to be a misunderstanding. With help from her brother Parker and an honest conversation with her friends, Pandy discovers that asking questions can sometimes change the whole story.
