Mmmmm...
What could possibly smell so yummy?
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 heart-warming story of sharing and community to life in colorful cut-paper designs as luscious as Omu's stew, with an extra serving of love.

Caldecott Medal and Honor books the year 2019
Reviewed by Sandy Hall
The repetition of specific words and lines are a delightful draw to this story that little ones love in picture book stories. “Knock knock,” “Mmmmmm, stew!” “Thank you, Omu!” are all repeated each time a new person comes to the door for a taste of Omu’s stew.
The story is sweet, displaying generosity, community, unselfishness, and ultimately the kindness returned to Omu. A wonderful story about sharing!
