It's time to cook dinner but the cupboards are empty! What can be done? Meet eight year old twins, Suma and Oko. Every day is an opportunity for them to learn something new. Today's lessons are about teamwork and the importance of family.

Join Suma, Oko and the rest of the family as they begin their first of many adventures to Auntie Edem's store to pick up a few ingredients, and then back home to cook a stupendous pot of okra soup - with mum's and dad's help of course!

This is a fun, rhyming story for 4-6 year olds, which will have them picking up new words and discovering a new culture. The best part is, adults can also get involved as there's a recipe at the back of the book for the whole family to try.
