Marcia Brown – författare

A Caldecott Honor Book with remastered artwork for its 75th anniversary! Clever soldiers outwit greedy townspeople with the creation of a special soup in this cherished classic.Three soldiers come marching down the road towards a French village. The peasants, seeing them coming, suddenly become very busy, for soldiers are often hungry. All their food is hidden under mattresses or in barns. Then follows a battle of wits, with the soldiers equal to the occasion. Why, of course—even with no food, they can still make a wonderful soup! All they will need is three round stones. But to make a truly perfect stone soup, they will of course also need a carrot or two…a cabbage…and so it goes. First published in 1947, Marcia Brown’s retelling of a French folktale is a picture book classic. Her lively art creates a festival of activity, of dancing and laughter, that young readers will want to experience again and again.

Three hungry soldiers outwit greedy villagers into providing them with a feast, in this classic based on an old French tale.

I was born and raised in Salem Indiana; I am certified adult peer support specialist to help recovering addicts and I have a bachelor’s degree in ministry from the International School of Ministry.I have two children named Nikia Morgan and Jacob Howard. I had been lost all my life and the devil had lied to me trying to steal my soul by being in addiction for thirty-two years.I was paralyzed in drugs and fear and God inspired me and brought me out of darkness to his light. What inspired me to write this book he set the fire in my soul by my faith through grace I was forgiven.Trusting in him coming outside the prison walls I continued being faithful to God to be called to his purpose and plan before the second coming to build up God’s kingdom.
