About This Book
Oge Mora's Caldecott Honor book, "Thank You, Omu!", tells the delightful story of Omu, a kind woman whose homemade stew smells so delicious that her neighbors can't resist asking for a taste. She generously shares with everyone who knocks, from a little boy to the mayor, until her pot is empty. When it's time for Omu to eat, she finds herself with no stew left, but her community soon returns with a feast of their own to show their gratitude. This vibrant picture book, illustrated with stunning mixed-media collage, beautifully explores themes of generosity, community, and the joy of sharing, making it perfect for children aged 3-7.
