Woodfin Elementary students unlocked the secrets of what really happens in the oven while biscuits are baking.
Just before summer break, author Susan Zapfe came to share her book “The Grumpy Biscuit.” It’s the story of a biscuit formed by a tiny piece of dough, and gets teased by the other biscuits.
“I want children to feel special based on who they are on the inside,” said Zapfe. “As a former teacher, all children are special, no matter their age. They all have a place in the world.”
Zapfe lives in New Jersey, but came to Asheville to visit a friend. While she’s here, she wanted to share what she calls “biscuit love” to area kids. Each Woodfin student received a copy of the book, along with a Grumpy Biscuit plushy. The toy turns inside out to reveal a smiling biscuit, to go along with Grumpy Biscuit’s transformation in the book.
Zapfe is already working on a sequel, “Grumpy Biscuit: Alone in the Dark.”
