Stone Soup?


I heard a story about a restaurant owner in Port au Prince on NPR early this morning as I traveled to nowhere on the treadmill.
He was worried about all of his food going bad without any customers, so he's serving free food to about a thousand people a day instead.   When he began to run out of cooking gas and food other area business owners chipped in to help.  I flashed on the children's story, "Stone Soup".

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jon J Muth. Zen Shorts is one of my favorite children books! Every parent (or auntie)should read it to their child. I hope to incorporate it into my class every year.

That's something I have way too many of--children's books. So many favorites!
