A rumination on our ability to recognize our
interconnectedness with all people, that in order to eat a single meal, it
takes the whole world to make it.
There’s something special bubbling in Nanni’s big metal pot.
And it smells delicious! What ingredients might be inside? When Nanni lifts the
lid on her soup, she reveals the whole world inside: from the seeds that grew
into vegetables, to the gardeners who lovingly tended to the plants, to the
sun, moon, and stars that shone its light above them. And, of course, no meal
is complete without a recipe passed down generations of family, topped and
finished with Nanni’s love.
In this tender tale by award-winning author Hunter Liguore
and artist Vikki Zhang, readers will marvel at how a community and world can
come together to put on an unforgettable meal between a granddaughter and her
Nanni.
