Because of a Cake, a Crow, and a Star is a children's book about a young girl dwarf, excited to start her apprenticeship in the royal dwarf kitchens. After several mishaps, the head chef bans her from the kitchens and sends her to an old, retired chef to deliver a solstice gift. She gets lost in the forest, but with the help of a star and a crow, the little dwarf finds the chef's cottage. He gives her an important secret to deliver to the head chef, sends her back to the kitchens, and she is able to redeem herself and help the head chef create the great dwarf solstice cake.
