librarybonanza 's review for:
Thank You, Omu!
by Oge Mora
Age: Preschool-Kindergarten
Community Helper: Various
Food: Stew
Award: 2018 Caldecott Honor
An elderly woman prepares a delicious stew that catches the attention of most everyone in the neighborhood, from the boy down the hall to a hot dog vendor to a doctor. The kind, generous woman is happy to feed those that come to her door but she is left with nothing by the end of the day. Sad that she could not enjoy her own food, everyone comes back to her apartment with a feast of foods for all to enjoy.
A heart-warming celebration of community, generosity, and the power of food to bring people together. Children will feast upon the dimensional life of the collage artwork, especially the page where the listeners can do a seek-and-find of the community helpers that decorate the page.
