Review :
AWARDS and RECOGNITIONSAmerican Booksellers Association, Bookselling This Week: "Kids Pick of the Lists" (2000) Parent Council, Ltd., Selected as Outstanding (2000) Bank Street College, Best of the Best, Outstanding Books of 1997 to 2001 Children's Literature "This book is lovely, and the illustrations are perfect for the text." The Horn Book Guide "Unhappy after Grandma's death, Grandpa finally decides to re-create the soup she used to cook. With each try, he remembers another ingredient, and every day he shares his soup with an increasing number of guests ? from mice to children. In this simple but eloquent story, the illustrations become lighter, more colorful, and larger as Grandpa's spirits improve and expand." Booklist "The story is translated from Japanese, but its gentle lessons on coping with grief are applicable to any culture." Publishers Weekly "Ichikawa's lifelike paintings brim with particulars, such as figures outlined on the door's curtain to foreshadow the identities of each batch of hungry diners. Spot art appears alongside the text, helping youngsters read between the lines. Originally published in Japan, this endearing book features a multiethnic cast, and the message, too, transcends cultures."
