En esta entrañable y dulce historia, perfecta para los fans de Last Stop on Market Street y para la época del Día de Acción de Gracias, una mujer generosa es reconocida por su comunidad. La edición en inglés, Thank You, Omu!, también está disponible. Todos en el vecindario sueñan con poder probar el delicioso guiso de Omu! Uno por uno siguen su nariz hacia el maravilloso aroma. Y Omu les ofrece un poco de su comida, uno por uno. Al poco tiempo la olla se queda vacía. Omu fue tan generosa que se quedó sin guiso para ella? En su primera obra, la autora e ilustradora Oge Mora le da vida a una entrañable historia sobre compartir y sobre el sentido de comunidad, utilizando coloridos diseños con recortes de papel tan exquisitos como el guiso de Omu, con una porción extra de amor. Una nota de la autora explica que "Omu" (que se pronuncia "Amu") significa "reina" en igbo, el idioma de sus padres, pero que durante su infancia ella utilizaba esa palabra para decir "abuela". Las figuras femeninas fuertes de la vida de Oge Mora fueron su inspiración para este libro. No te pierdas Saturday, también escrito e ilustrado por Oge Mora!
