Giant Parsnip Soup

What’s it about?

The story.

When a feisty group of friends discovers an enormous parsnip, there is only one thing to do: make soup. But a giant parsnip is not enough on its own, so off they go on a cheerful gathering adventure, collecting their ingredients one to ten along the way, two onions, three carrots and more, until the pot is full and the whole gang can cook and eat together. Daniela Sosa's warm, sunny illustrations and gentle counting structure make this a lovely early book about food, friendship and the pleasure of making something with people you love. It doubles as a soft introduction to counting and to where vegetables come from, and even includes a real recipe for vegetable soup to try at home. A companion in spirit to Sosa's Friends and Growing Green, this is a cosy, celebratory read about sharing a meal and a task with good company.
