Thank You, Omu! by Oge Mora
Thank You, Omu! is a wonderful debut picture book from illustrator and author Oge Mora. The book promotes community, kindness, thankfulness and social awareness.
Omu shares her delicious stew with everyone in the neighbourhood. They follow the amazing smell for a portion of Omu’s meal. Soon the pot is empty and her generosity means she has no stew left for herself. But the community show their gratitude by sharing their food with her.
