Description
En esta entrañable y dulce historia, perfecta para los fans de Last Stop on Market Street y para la época del Día de Acción de Gracias, una mujer generosa es reconocida por su comunidad. Todos en el vecindario sueñan con poder probar el delicioso guiso de Omu! Uno por uno siguen su nariz hacia el maravilloso aroma. Y Omu les ofrece un poco de su comida, uno por uno. Al poco tiempo la olla se queda vacía. Omu fue tan generosa que se quedó sin guiso para ella? En su primera obra, la autora e ilustradora Oge Mora le da vida a una entrañable historia sobre compartir y sobre el sentido de comunidad, utilizando coloridos diseños con recortes de papel tan exquisitos como el guiso de Omu, con una porción extra de amor. Una nota de la autora explica que "Omu" (que se pronuncia "Amu") significa "reina" en igbo, el idioma de sus padres, pero que durante su infancia ella utilizaba esa palabra para decir "abuela". Las figuras femeninas fuertes de la vida de Oge Mora fueron su inspiración para este libro. La edición en inglés, Thank You, Omu!, también está disponible. No te pierdas Saturday, también escrito e ilustrado por Oge Mora!
A Caldecott Honor Book In this cozy, sweet story perfect for fans of Last Stop on Market Street as well as for the Thanksgiving season, a generous woman is rewarded by her community. Everyone in the neighborhood dreams of a taste of Omu's delicious stew! One by one, they follow their noses toward the scrumptious scent. And one by one, Omu offers a portion of her meal. Soon the pot is empty. Has she been so generous that she has nothing left for herself?

This book was inspired by the strong female role models in Oge Mora's life. An English edition, Thank You, Omu!, is also available. Don't miss Saturday, also written and illustrated by Oge Mora!
