Louise is excited to decorate cupcakes for the bake sale, and she mixes up all colors of icing (color theory!), but then her little brother Art, who's helping, mixes all of the colors together so all of the icing is gray. But that's okay - they make robot cupcakes!

Louise models the kind of imagination and flexible thinking that both art and baking often require.

The illustration style reminds me of Tony Fucile's illustrations for Bink & Gollie by Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee. ( )
