Advance Praise

I’m delighted to see a remake of Famous Seaweed Soup. The illustrations by Penny Weber reflect the warmth and humor of author Antoinette Truglio Martin’s text. The story turns a day at the beach into an exploration of nature and the importance of family. I’m glad to see this story take on a new life.

What a sweet story. I'm a prek teacher and you could use this story during our family theme. Or as a compare and contrast to the story The Little Red Hen. We do have a sea animals theme, but there wasn't any sea animals.

The illustrations and the story was sweet.

Sara doesn’t need anyone’s help!!! She did it all herself! This was such a cute book and I loved Sara and her cute little sister! The illustrations were perfection!!!

We just came back from a trip to the beach so this book hit home in the best ways. My daughters are two and four and really saw themselves in the two main characters and her journey to make her "famous seaweed soup." In this modern retelling of Henny Penny, this little girl is wanting her family to play with her as she becomes more and more exasperated that she has to do everything on her own to make this soup (even though her family is just enjoying their beach day as well). It was so fun to read and watch my daughter catch on to the rhythm of one of her favorite stories told again. The illustrations are beautiful and I always love seeing more representation of families in books we read. I'm definitely going to order this book when it comes out to donate to her school.

Highly recommend!
