Summary:This book tells the story of Omu who makes the most delicious stews. Everyone in the neighbourhood wants to have a taste of it. During the day, they follow their nose toward the lovely scent of Omu’s stew. Omu offers them one by one a portion of her meal, but soon the pot is empty and nothing is left for herself. But suddenly, there are knocks on the door… The illustrations are colourful collages which can inspire young learners to create their own stories using this technique.
