OUR LATEST RELEASE

Kathy Bates reads
Stone Soup

Stone Soup is written and illustrated by Jon J Muth  and published by Scholastic.

An award-winning artist adds a Zen twist to a favorite tale. As three monks travel along a mountain road, they encounter villagers ravaged by harsh times, making them cold to strangers. When the monks entice them to make soup from stones, the villagers discover how much they have to give.

In this inspiring story about the strength people possess when they work together, Muth takes a simple, beloved tale and adds his own fresh twist.
