From the Author
This book has inspired people across the country to catch the "Stone Soup" spirit, and get involved in their communities. Educators are using this book, and "The Leader's Guide to Stone Soup for the World" to inspire their middle and high school students. At the 1997 Presidents' Summit for America's Future, the Stone Soup Foundation made a commitment to develop partnerships with those involved with America's Promise to sponsor 1,000,000 books to America's youth. It's heartwarming to see people naturally coming forward to help achieve this goal.

Sometimes when the day temperature is warm, you'll notice a fog bank come creeping in from the coast. This photo that I took at Oceanside Harbor around 3:00 reminds me of the book I'm reading. It's about everyone coming together and making the earth a better place.
