The Whole World Inside Nan's Soup
by Hunter Liguore, Vikki Zhang
What a gorgeous book! The story is sweet and lovely, about a little girl asking her nan what's in the pot on the stove. "Seeds!" Nan answers, and proceeds to tell her about all the different things in the pot- the soil and water used to grow the seeds, the farm workers that tend, pick, and load the seeds into the trucks that carry them, the trucks and roads the seeds travel on, etc, giving a good overview of all the work involved in getting food on the table. Nan also shares that there's love in the soup, as the recipe has been handed down over generations just so the little girl could eat it. When the little girl asks if Nan will teach her the recipe too, Nan asks if she remembers all that was in the pot. She answers by saying "The whole world!"
The art in this is amazing, just beautiful. Most spreads are shown in two color schemes- a full color palette, and a palette of soft blue, white, and a peachy tan that gives those illustrations a vintage feel, showing that the process the seeds go through has been going on for a very long time. There is so much detail to catch and keep interest, and such a cozy feel to the art! This is definitely a book I'd recommend!
