The bestselling picture book now in an enhanced edition with four
pages of activity prompts and discussion questions In a garden
outside a Kenyan schoolhouse, children are working together to
harvest the vegetables they have grown and make them into a soup
for everyone to share. But Kioni is having trouble: her herd of
mischievous goats followed her to school today, and they are trying
to make their own lunch out of the vegetable garden! The ensuing
chaos is cleverly resolved by the children, making their vegetable
soup very tasty while saving Kioni's four-legged intruders at the
same time. Using rollicking verse with echoes of "Mary had a Little
Lamb," award-winning author Alma Fullerton tells a lively story
about communal projects and finding creative solutions that help
everyone contribute. This lively story for young readers is graced
with Alma's stunning primitive paper sculpture art—the first book
she chose to illustrate herself using this unique style. Don't miss
the soup recipe at the end of the story! NEW in this edition: four
pages of extra back matter on growing food, celebrating communities
around the world, creating collage art, and making connections
beyond the text.
