In the Mottainai Grandma series’s latest installment, the old lady who is always looking out for ways to reduce waste tackles… the afterlife?! Outside hell an ogre offers soup to people in line, while outside heaven a celestial maiden welcomes the hungry. The catch in both cases? The spoon is too long to reach your mouth! Mottainai Grandma knows the secret to eating the soup without spilling a single drop — do you? Mariko Shinju’s educational picture book series celebrates ten years with this tale that promotes problem solving and empathy at the same time.
