Illustrated by
Diane Greenseid.
Vivid acrylic paintings drenched in primary colors accompany a Caribbean version of "Stone Soup." Granny has no food until she uses a seashell to help her convince the people in the marketplace to contribute to a magical soup. Soon meat, fish, vegetables, and spices are filling the pot and the kallaloo (Caribbean gumbo) is boiling away. Two recipes are appended.
