NANETTE'S BAGUETTE

Who can resist the smell of freshly baked bread? Certainly not author/narrator Mo Willems, who has had the tantalizing experience of living beside a bakery in France. With enthusiasm and anguished pauses to savor the fragrance, Willems and family members Cher and Trixie detail Nanette's lucky day. This is the day that she has been granted her longstanding wish to purchase a baguette from the nearby bakery. Such delight. And it's even better that the baguette seems to be lasting and keeping its luscious aroma as the day goes on. How many delights can one loaf of bread bring to Nannette? Could anything possibly go wrong? The production concludes with an interview with Willems. He shares his personal experience with baguettes as well as his visual and written creative processes. A.R.
