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.
