description: A generous woman is rewarded by her community in this remarkable author-illustrator debut that's perfect for the Thanksgiving season perfect for fans of Last Stop on Market Street. 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? Debut author-illustrator Oge Mora brings a heartwarming story of sharing and community to life in colorful cut-paper designs as luscious as Omu's stew with an extra serving of love. An author's note explains that Omu (pronounced AH-moo) means queen in the Igbo language of her parents but growing up she used it to mean Grandma.
