This book reminds me of one of my favorite poems, "Where I'm From" by George Ella Lyon. It celebrates all the things that make you YOU.

Think about some of the things the child in this story celebrated. What things would you share if you were telling people where you're from?

What are some special things your family does that you always want to remember?

Write your own "I'm From..." poem and share some things that make you and your family and where you come from special. You might include favorite foods, favorite activities, and special things you do with your family and friends. What makes you YOU?

This story has a chain reaction! That means one thing causes another thing to happen all through the story. It reminds me of books like "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie." Can you think of another story or example of one thing causing another thing to happen? Maybe you could even write or draw your own story with a chain reaction in it!

Thank You, Omu! is a 2018 picture book written and illustrated by Oge Mora. The story is about Omu, who cooks a stew and shares it with her neighbors; they show their gratitude by bringing her food. The book started as an assignment for a class of Mora's at the Rhode Island School of Design, where it was seen by an editor from Little, Brown. Thank You, Omu was well reviewed and a recipient of the 2019 Caldecott Honor for its illustrations. The book's mixed media drew praise for their detailed depictions of characters and locations.Omu makes a stew for dinner and its smell spreads throughout the neighbourhood. One by one, starting with a boy, members of the community knock on her door to ask her for some of the stew, which Omu always gives. When Omu is ready for dinner, there is no more stew left. However, the community then brings her food to show their gratitude. They eat together and have a dance party.*linh an-4A2-olympia*

Thank you Omu! by Oge Mora.

In a tall apartment building in a bustling city, there lived an old woman named Omu . One evening, she was cooking a thick, red stew in a big pot for her dinner. It was her favorite recipe, and the rich, delicious smell began to waft out of her window.

The scent traveled down the street and soon, there was a knock at her door. It was a little boy from down the hall, who had followed the wonderful smell. "What is that delicious smell?" he asked. Omu, being kind-hearted, smiled and gave him a bowl of her stew. "Thank you, Omu!" he said happily.

Not long after, there was another knock. This time, it was a police officer on her beat, who said the smell had made her hungry. Omu gladly shared another portion of her stew.

Again and again, her door was knocked upon. The hot dog vendor, a cab driver, a doctor, a dancer, and many more people from the community—all drawn by the incredible smell—came to her door. Each time, Omu's generous heart led her to share, and each time, her pot of stew grew smaller.

Finally, when the last visitor left, Omu went to get her own dinner. To her dismay, she discovered the pot was completely empty. She had given all of her food away. She sat down, feeling a little sad that she had nothing to eat.

Just then, she heard a soft knock at her door. When she opened it, she found the entire community of people she had fed standing there. They had not forgotten her kindness. They carried pots, pans, and dishes of all kinds—a grand potluck feast they had put together just for her.

They all came inside, and her small apartment was filled with joy, laughter, and shared food. As they enjoyed the meal together, everyone repeated the same grateful phrase: "Thank you, Omu!" She felt full, not just from the food, but from the love and warmth of her community, realizing that her generosity had come back to her tenfold.

Today I read the book “Thank you, Omu”. This book is about a woman named Omu. One day, she cooked a big pot of thick red stew that smelled so delicious. She thought it would be the most wonderful dinner ever. After that, she heard a lot of “Knock Knock” sounds and when she opened the door, many people came and asked for thick red stew. Omu was so kind that she shared it with everyone. At the end of the day, Omu felt sad because the red stew pot was empty and she had nothing left for dinner. But a while later, everyone that she gave the red stew earlier came back and gave her many delicious food and nice gifts to thank her. Omu was so surprised and then felt happy and loved. I think that Omu felt a little bit sad when she found out that her pot was empty. But I believe that deep inside she did not regret for being kind. When everyone came back with food and gifts, she was so touched because she realized that her kindness brought her many beautiful things such as friends, laughter, love that are even better than the stew.

In this warm and tender story by the Caldecott Honor-winning creator of Thank You, Omu!, join a mother and daughter on an up-and-down journey that reminds them of what’s best about Saturdays: precious time together.

Today would be special. Today would be splendid. It was Saturday! But sometimes, the best plans don’t work out exactly the way you expect….

In this heartfelt and universal story, a mother and daughter look forward to their special Saturday routine together every single week. But this Saturday, one thing after another goes wrong–ruining storytime, salon time, picnic time, and the puppet show they’d been looking forward to going to all week. Mom is nearing a meltdown…until her loving daughter reminds her that being together is the most important thing of all.

Yes! Every Sunday, I spend time with my family. We usually have breakfast together, then go for a walk or watch a movie. It’s nice to relax and talk without rushing around like on busy weekdays.

Yes, once we planned a picnic, but it started raining really hard. I felt disappointed at first because I was looking forward to it. But we ended up making sandwiches at home and watching a funny movie together, so it turned out okay

When I get upset or frustrated, I try to take a deep breath and calm down before reacting. Sometimes I talk to someone I trust or listen to music. It helps me think more clearly and feel better.

My perfect day would be at the beach with my family and friends. We’d play volleyball, swim, and have a picnic by the water. In the evening, we’d watch the sunset and have a bonfire with music and stories. It would be peaceful and full of laughter.

My special day in the week is Saturday, I like to spend time with my family on Saturday.

I once went to a very beautiful park to camp, but by Saturday, all the tickets were sold out, so I couldn't go. I was very sad. I will told everyone to look for other fun things, and gradually, one Saturday became more enjoyable than previous Saturdays. I spent time with my family watching TV, doing housework, playing chess, Uno, Tic Tac Toe, Dragon Snake to the Clouds, and even having a party with plenty of food—it was really fun! And staying up late for a sleepover party too! I will do chores with my family , do chores is also fun! Right! But when I go home my mom said that the park is has more tickets, so we go to the park and have a great time together!🌸🌸🌸 (by : Truc My - 4A2 - Olympia School )

Today I read the Saturday story. This story was about Ava and her mom . That day was Saturday when Ava, her mom was going to the puppet show and some other place. First, she and her mom were going to the library to read some books, but the story time was canceled. Ava and her mom were very sad and after that, two of them took a deep breath and her mom appeased her so she didn’t be sad. Later they went to the salon to have the a new and beautiful hair. But then, the their hair got dirty and wet because of the dirty water splashing up from the street when a car sped past them. Next they went to the park, here was too loud so they couldn’t play. They tried to be optimistic and carry on going to the puppet show. But her mom forgot the tickets. They were really frustrated. But the girl appeased her mom and said “don’t worry, I am very happy because today I spent time with you”. And two of them went back to home. And they did some of craft things and felt happy even didn’t complain about what happened.

Do you have a special day each week that you spend with someone you care about. What do you like to do on that?

Definitely yes. I usually visit my grandparents on Sundays. We have lunch together and talk about many things or watch funny sitcoms. I really enjoy watering plants with my grandma. I love spending time with them because they make me feel loved and happy.

My family always eats dinner together. During dinner, we talk about our day and share funny stories. Every weekend, we cook together and go shopping in the department store. These small things make me feel warm and loved, and I always want to remember them.

This is my "I'm From" Poem

I’m from warm rice and yummy fish of grandpa

From grandma’s laughter in the kitchen

From dad and mom’s fun stories that never end.

I’m from rainy afternoons and beautiful rainbows,

From the smell of summer and the taste of lollipops,

From loud family gatherings and sweet hugs.

I’m from kindness and hard work,

Always help others and never give up

I’m from love, happiness and warm heart.

That’s what makes me me.

Shiny light is so beautiful. I buy some Latern for me my mom and my little brother in this day, people usually go out take the Latern and walk through the street when I finish walk around the street I go to my friends house and I have some candy. It’s delicious and sweet.

I come from Vietnam A very small country, but they like Vietnam and proud of Vietnam

I like sushi and my favorites food of course is sushi because I like sushi and that’s my favorite food

Sometime I play video games with my friend or sometime my very like don’t have anything to do so I draw or play with friends make me happy

I usually and sometimes play with family because my family my grandma and my grandpa are in their house and in here I just have my dad my mom and little brother My uncle and my Grandma go here to take care my little brother so my grandpa and my great grandpa have to live in Grandparent house

Or sometimes I play video game with friends because I so don’t have anything to do. It’s very usually I finish my homework and then I don’t have anything to do. I’m draw call my friend and play video game with them, but I usually do that because I don’t want to always look at the iPad to computer the phone. It’s so dangerous for my eyes. I have to protect my eyes because I have to wear the glasses.

3. I am from Viet Nam

A peaceful and beautiful country

The people in here is very lovely

Where all the teacher always make our lessons more joyful

It is because of my mother and my father that I am here today; my parents worked hard to take care of me and gave me all their love.

Do you know that parental love is the same in that it gives 100% but often only receives half in return? Our parents are very important people.( by: Nguyen Khanh Truc My )

I think that the child in the story was celebrated a party because they talk with other very loud so they have to celebrated someone

The special thing is when we go and play together at the play ground then we ate the outside food and go play in the afternoon sometimes we also watched movies about Harry Potter

🌞 I’m From

I’m from the crunch of Lay’s chips in my hand,

from salty air and sunshine on my skin.

I’m from the waves that chase my feet at Đà Nẵng beach,

from laughter that dances with the sea breeze.

I’m from the joy of family trips and long, bright days,

from smiles, splashes, and the sound of the ocean calling.

I’m from moments that shine like seashells in the sand —

that’s where I’m from.

1. Think about some of the things the child in this story celebrated. What things would you share if you were telling people where you're from?

→ The child in this story celebrated some things such as playing, reading, and cooking. I’m from my family, which is a small family. My family has  6 people: my parents, my grandparents, my brother and me. I’m from my family’s love because everyone loves me. I come from my mom’s belly, too.

2. What are some special things your family does that you always want to remember?

→ My family usually sleeps together because my parents often have a lot of business trips and hardly stay at home. So, when they come back home, we spend time sleeping. Moreover, I usually return to my hometown on Tet holiday with my grandparents. They cook many delicious foods for me and I have free time there to play video games.

3. Write your own "I'm From..." poem and share some things that make you and your family and where you come from special. You might include favorite foods, favorite activities, and special things you do with your family and friends. What makes you YOU?

I’m from a great family

My mom, my dad, my brother

My mom is very busy

My dad is so strict

My brother is really funny.

I’m from a good kitchen

Fish, pork, fried chicken

A lot of machine there

OH, my kitchen - look modern.

I’m from the confidence

If you wanna evidence

My action will prove that

That is my talent.

My hometown is very beautiful, although not modern but I love my hometown very much. Update Family, I often go to the city to play. My hometown is quite small but very fun and has many dirty skewer shops and golden rice fields. KFC and I like to go out.

I'm from the hum of the sewing machine's song,

From patches and glue where we all belong.

From "Baby, you're strong," and hands that mend,

And scraps that become a beloved friend.

I'm not from a place, but a love stitched tight,

From making our darkness feel bright.

Our favorite food to have for dinner is french fries. Once on a very hot day, we sold lemonade to people who needed refreshments.

Omu felt sad hungry when her pot was empty, but when all her neighbors brought food to share, she felt happy and thankful.

# data[].attributes.body
We can related to the story Thank You, Omu because we think it is nice to share and give food to people who don't have any. Right now we are doing a food drive to collect food items people in our area really need.
