By: P.D. Cain

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Join Imani, Tommy, and Maya on a magical January adventure where six celebrations unlock the secrets of a crumbling cookie kingdom!
When miniature apple trees suddenly sprout from the cracks in the sidewalk, best friends Imani, Tommy, and Maya know another magical adventure is beginning. Armed with a mysterious wooden box and six golden keys, the children are transported to the incredible Shortbread Kingdom—a world where towers are made of buttery cookies, gardens grow magical beans, and every celebration matters.
But the kingdom is crumbling! To save it, the children must complete six different celebrations before sunset: honoring the humble bean, mastering the art of perfect shortbread, navigating an apple tree maze, sharing warm soup with a poet, celebrating the importance of names, and learning why endings can be beautiful too.
