When Grandma invites Oliver to help bake a cinnamon swirl loaf, he discovers warmth, movement, and a quiet kind of magic in the waiting. Through kneading, puzzles, spirals, and calm breaths, Oliver learns that stillness doesn’t always come first—sometimes it grows slowly, like rising dough. A cozy SEL story of patience and connection.
