More about the book

The story explores the significance of Soup Joumou, a traditional pumpkin soup in Haitian culture, which was once forbidden to slaves before Haiti's independence from France. Following Jean-Jacques Dessalines' declaration of independence on January 1, 1804, this dish transformed into a symbol of freedom. Nina shares this rich history with her children, highlighting how Haitians worldwide celebrate their heritage by enjoying Soup Joumou every January 1st, reinforcing the connection between food and cultural identity.
