~ Oversized Hardcover (26.5 x 23.5cm) Three strangers, hungry and tired, pass through a war-torn village where people, resentful and suspicious from the war, hide their food and cl ose their windows tight. That is, until the clever strangers suggest making a soup from stones. Intrigued by the idea, everyone brings what they have until together, they have made a feast fit for a king! With magnificent watercolor illustrations that invite reflection of deeper meaning, Jon J. Muth's version of Stone Soup combines his love of Zen Buddhism and Eastern culture with a favorite old trickster tale that celebrates the power of generosity. Show more
