Bone Button BorschtWhen the townspeople turn away a hungry beggar, he removes five bone buttons from his threadbare coat and announces that he can make a "miracle soup"--enough to feed the whole town--with just one more button. Subtle watercolor illustrations mirror the gradual warming of the town as the beggar brings the people together to create the most delicious bone button borscht they have ever tasted. Full color. |
