| Format: | Mimi misses her Grandmother but every day she sees something that reminds her of her Grandmas special Saturday soup. The sun is big and round like the pumpkin in the soup, the snow is white and smooth like the inside of a sliced yam. Mimi counts down the days until she can next have her favourite dish in the whole world, clearly but subtly sequencing days of the week. The story is built around Mimis perceptive descriptions of her world and her Grandmothers evocative stories of her life back in Jamaica. As well as a tool for developing childrens descriptive language this book could also be used to begin to develop childrens understanding of and appreciation for what its like in other parts of the world, drawing comparisons between people and places. |
