At Paul du Pain’s bakery, there’s something special in the air.

Each day, Paul bakes the bread while Marie serves the customers. Everyone who walks in the door walks back out feeling happier than before. But when Marie goes away, she takes her magic with her, and Paul and his dog Gracie’s days become sad and grey. Will the bakery ever be the same again?
