Copyright 2018 School Library Journal.PreS-Gr 2â In her apartment on the top floor, Omu (Igbo forqueen ) makes a tasty, thick red stew for her dinner. The smell wafts through her community, enticing neighbors to knock at her door to inquire about the delicious smell. A little boy is first, followed by a police officer, the hot dog vendor, and many other neighbors. Omu shares a bit of her stew with each person until she has none left for her dinner. When she hears the next knock, it is the visitors again, but this time with a feast to share with Omu. Even the little boy makes a contribution: a red envelope that conveys everyone's sincere gratitude. The richly textured and expressive collage illustrations were created with patterned paper and old-book clippings using acrylic paint, pastels, and markers. Mora has crafted a memorable tale of community and the unexpected rewards of sharing.VERDICT Children will enjoy this fresh, engaging story of friendship and community building, perfect for any group gathering. âMaria B. Salvadore, formerly at District of Columbia Public Library
