Omu has made a delicious stew for her dinner tonight. It smells so good cooking that the boy down the hall knocks on her door to see what she is making , and generous Omu shares. In fact, she shares with everyone who comes to her door asking about the stew until there is none left for her own dinner.

Oge Mora's debut picture book is a beautiful story about community, sharing and taking care of everyone. The collage illustrations are whimsical and wonderful, and the story, though simple has a great message.
