That is the question at the heart of this cheerful picture book from Rose Stories, a collective of storytellers who want to make people see things differently with their books. Sam-Ming goes to talk to all his classmates, asking them if they’ve seen his soup. No one has. But they do show Sam-Ming their own lunches. The reader is treated to an international parade of delights: from Greek gemistá and Surinamese pom to Turkish dolmas and Dutch pancakes. Maria Koutamanis has captured this culinary story in mouth-watering illustrations that make you long to try these dishes for yourself.
