Happy birthday to Tova’s Sweet Solution, a picture book for children about food allergies, problem solving, and growth mindset.
Tova’s Sweet Solution is about a bear named Tova who learns she’s allergic to a made-up food called honeygrain. Her family bakestorms new recipes, but nothing tastes good until…Tova gets a new ingredient idea and finds a sweet solution!
Filled with adorable art, tasty wordplay, a loving family, and a main character with growth mindset, this book is sure to inspire creative problem-solving and clever wordplay.
I’m so excited to have this book in the world. There are so many more kids with food allergies whether it’s nuts or gluten, and my hope is that this book normalizes being inclusive and kind to kids with food differences.
Please Order Tova for Your Libraries, Homes, and Friends!
Order or request Tova’s Sweet Solution for your school or public libraries!

Kirkus Says “Serves up success!“
Last week, Kirkus gave Tova’s Sweet Solution a positive review! Here’s an excerpt.
“With grace and whimsy, Taylor has crafted an utterly sweet tale; the use of nonspecific portmanteau names, like oatssava and milletseed, means that the book will reach an audience with any food allergy. Lise-Anne’s illustrations shine with rich shaded colors, expressive compositions, varied page layouts, and fun typographic stylizations. Serves up success!“
