This book walks through a day with Omu making her soup for dinner. Many people come by and ask her for some. She shares with them but runs out of soup for herself at the end of the day. She hears a knock at the door and all the people she shared with are there with something for her. This book could be great for 1st and 2nd graders as a read-out-loud. A lesson on what it means to be in a community with others and share. Also, because the pictures are so detailed, you could also talk to students about making a picture book with pictures that add details, or if this was turned into a no-picture book, what details could be added for the book to make more sense?

Omu, an older woman, makes a stew for her dinner then sits to relax. People smell the wonderful stew and she does not hesitate to share with all of them, but when it comes time for her dinner it's all gone. But then there is a knock at the door and everyone she fed has returned and brought food and gifts and they have a wonderful dinner together. This is a great book about sharing and community and the power of sharing food to bring people together. It would be a great book for kids who are learning about sharing or having trouble with sharing. It would be great for kids who love food or want to be cooks or chefs. The author's bio in the back honors the importance of her grandmother in her life. This brings an additional element of value of the book for children who have a grandmother as an important figure in their lives.

"Omu" means queen in Nigerian. But for the author, it meant Grandma. This story is one that resonated with me on so many levels.

It's the story of a grandmother making a thick red stew that smells divine. As people come to her door, from a young boy to the hot dog vendor, she shares her soup. But when it is time for her to eat, there is none left. Yet the lives that she has impacted show up not to take but to give to her.

Why did I love this story? Well, I adore food. Cooking is my passion. And it is my Nana who taught me to cook. The memories I have of her involve the kitchen in some form or other. So reading this book took me back to my growing up years. "Thank You, Omu!" is also a collage form of illustrations made my acrylic paint, china markers, pastels, patterned paper, and old book clippings. The artwork is definitely the right medium in which to tell this story.

Around this time of year, I start paying attention to the rumblings around Caldecott and Newbery Awards. My hope? "Thank You,Omu" deserves a place in the Caldecott.....most likely as an honor. It ticks all the boxes. ( )

Thank You, Omu! is a charming modern rendition of the classic folktale Stone Soup, which begins as the grandmotherly Omu, creates a delicious thick red stew for her evening meal. After she seasons and stirs it, she proclaims, “Tonight’s stew will be the best I ever had.” Little does she know how true her words will be. As the stew simmers on her stove its delicious smell wafts through the building until a little boy smells its scrumptious scent and follows it to her door. Omu generously shares her red stew with him. As the delightful smell travels through the neighborhood one by one the community comes knocking on her door for a taste. When Omu sit down for supper it is all gone. What happens next gives Omu a full heart and truly the best meal she ever had!

Critical Analysis: Thank You, Omu! is an “artistic and literary expression of the African American experience” told with excellent writing and illustrations and is an outstanding choice for the honor of the 2019 Coretta Scott King Award and John Steptoe Award for New Talent. This heartwarming story of generosity and community, rooted in Nigerian culture, supports the criteria for the Coretta Scott King Book Award as it “promotes the understanding and appreciation of the cultures of all people and their contributions to the realization of the American dream of a pluralistic society” and “honors continued the work for peace and world brotherhood”. The illustrations “heighten and extend the reader’s awareness of the world” emphasize the diverse cultures of people and lead the reader “to an appreciation of beauty”. Omu’s generosity and willingness to feed the neighborhood with the work of her hands and mind is rewarded with grateful kindness and compassion by those she fed. Her community combines its resources, celebrates together, and shares the best everyone has to give.

Favorite quote: "Tonight's stew will be the best I ever had.",
