Creativity & Curiosity
Soup Day Written & illustrated by Melissa Iwai
It’s a snowy day, and a mother and her young daughter shop for ingredients to make vegetable soup. Back at home, while they enjoy preparing the meal together, the narrator counts vegetables and notices the shapes they’re cut into. Then Mom and the narrator find various ways to have fun while waiting for the soup to cook and for Dad to come home so they can all eat together.
