"After moving away from his beloved Jamaica where his father owned a bakery, a young boy misses the delicious, flaky…
Jamaican patties that made the bakery so famous. He begs his father to make patties for him in their new country, but his father, exhausted from working long hours at a cookie factory to make ends meet, just can't bring himself to do it. So one night, the boy takes matters in to his own hands and attempts to make the patties himself. This prompts his father to get out his apron once again -- and the resulting patties become so popular in their new neighborhood that the family can start a brand-new business. A story of immigration and belonging, Patty Dreams is also an homage to a quintessential Jamaican delicacy that is now also enjoyed in North America and Europe. (Recently, when an Eglinton Avenue establishment specializing in Jamaican patties announced it would have to close, Drake tweeted that he'd buy the place himself!) This story about food culture includes themes of immigration and the traditions that connect you to home and family."Available copies:
