Eat Cake for Breakfast

Eat Cake for Breakfast is a beautifully illustrated book ideal for anyone who needs a little reminder of the good things in life. With 100 small and very doable acts of happiness, this adorable book is the perfect gift for almost any occasion.

• Watching the sunrise
• Making sandcastles
• Sending a care package
• Eating cake for breakfast

Each of these activities is small, but paramount to happiness. Readers will open Eat Cake for Breakfast to find one hundred different ways to incorporate joy into their daily lives, all prompted by author Viola Sutanto’s mission to affirm humanity during her daughter’s life threatening medical treatment.

Inspired by the 100 Day Project, Sutanto embarked on a journey to uplift her family and her community with dozens of actionable suggestions for happiness. Her delicately colorful illustrations will immerse readers with each recommendation. No matter how tough life gets, happiness can be found in even the smallest acts of intentional joy. 

Eat Cake for Breakfast is a tribute to the medical team at the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland, CA, where Viola’s daughter was treated for bone marrow failure. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to support their incredible work.
