Acknowledgments by Malinda Mitchell:
I want to give special thanks to Susan Wigden, Ray Ruppert, and Nora Tapp Franzese for their contribution to Miss Sugar Crumb's Magic Kitchen. People tend to forget to thank the people that help them and I want to sincerely thank these three wonderful people.
Susan introduced me to Nora. Nora is a fantastic artist who has brought my words to life in her wonderful paintings.
Ray is the best publisher in the business.

For my little magic sweets, Letizia & Carmine .
Miss Sugar Crumb was a fair young maiden living in the country. Her home was a beautiful little yellow house with white trim. Surrounding her neatly kept yard was a picket fence matching the trim and many evergreen bushes and colorful trees.
During the spring and summer months Miss Sugar Crumb’s yard was decorated with all kinds of beautiful flowers.
Everyone who walked or drove past Miss Sugar Crumb’s house always stopped and admired the beauty of her home and smelled the wonderful aroma coming from her open windows on the days that she baked.
Miss Sugar Crumb enjoyed planting flowers and vegetable gardens but she liked baking bread, cakes, and pies most of all. The reason she enjoyed baking so much was that she could always take some of what she baked to sick or needy people. They always felt better soon. The sick people got well shortly after they ate and the needy always found work.
Everyone loved Miss Sugar Crumb because of her kind and gentle nature.
Miss Sugar Crumb also adored and fed the animals that lived in the woods behind her house. It wasn’t uncommon to see deer, squirrels, and rabbits peeking around the trees and bushes waiting for Miss Sugar Crumb to bring them some food.
She enjoyed talking to the animals and was surprised one day when a little rabbit spoke to her as she was putting out food for him, his family, and other animals. The little rabbit said, “Thank you for feeding us.”
