Mantra Lingua, | Suggested age range: 6-7

Dual Language. Available in 30 languagues

Mimi loves her Grandma and during the week everything she does reminds her of the things Grandma does and says. Most of all, they remind her of Grandma's wonderful Saturday soup, full of yams and green bananas and cho-cho and pumpkin and much else besides. It is delicious! Luckily, when Saturday comes around, Mimi visits Grandma and gets a helping of her most favourite soup. Grandma's stories about Jamaica are picked up in the atmospheric illustrations which contrast snowy scenes of life at home with the warmth and light of the Caribbean.
