The Baker & the Bard by Fern Haught
3.5

Adding an additional half star bc I really loved the art, but the dialogue was so clunky. I didn't realize this was MG before checking it out, but even for children's lit, it had a lot of "who would even talk like that??" issues. I also am not entirely sure I understand the point of the ending,
Juniper wanted her own bakery, so the owner of the shop she worked at gave her a cart, but she's still selling things from the same bakery and this is somehow a reward?
