Freedom Soup by Tami Charles
The shake-shake of maracas vibrates down to my toes. Ti Gran's feet tap-tap to the rhythm. Every year, Haitians all over the world ring in the new year by eating a special soup, a tradition dating back to the Haitian Revolution. This year, Ti Gran is teaching Belle how to make the soup--Freedom Soup--just like she was taught when she was a little girl. Together, they dance and clap as they prepare the holiday feast, and Ti Gran tells Belle about the history of the soup, the history of Belle's family, and the history of Haiti, where Belle's family is from. In this celebration of cultural traditions passed from one generation to the next, Belle's story and the story of the Haitian Revolution are brought to life. Tami Charles's lyrical text, as accessible as it is sensory, makes for a tale that everyone will enjoy to the last drop.Tami Charles is a full-time author of picture books, nonfiction, middle grade, and young adult novels, as well as a former teacher. She made it her duty as a teacher to expose her students to a wide range of literature, particularly minority novels. Tami's passion for writing and childhood aspiration of becoming an novelist were resurrected as a result of this. Her family and she live in New Jersey.
