Soup Day: A Picture Book -- Melissa Iwai, Hardcover

Melissa Iwai's Soup Day celebrates the importance of making a nutritious meal and sharing in the process as a family.

On a cold, snowy day, a young girl and her mother shop to buy ingredients for vegetable soup. At home, they work together--step by step--to prepare the meal. While the soup is cooking, they spend the time playing games and reading. Before long, Daddy's home and the family sits down to enjoy a home made dinner.
