| Publisher Description: Little Rue Makes Stew is the first in a series of children's books with the author's three boys as an audience in mind. The series follows a young joey kangaroo, affectionately named Little Rue, as he grows up and experiences the world around him the same way many young children do--by playing and working with their parents, neighbors, and friends. In Little Rue Makes Stew, Little Rue, working alongside his mother, learns how to cook the family meal. Throughout the story, Little Rue washes his hands, fills the pot with water, adds vegetables, peels potatoes, and, most importantly, learns that the kitchen stove is dangerous and that it's very important to be careful. |
Contributor Bio(s): Jilg, Dan: - Dan grew up on a small Nebraskan cattle ranch outside a little town. He attended a little two-room redbrick country schoolhouse, where the two rooms were separated only by a green corrugated curtain. He did not consume store-bought milk, eggs, chicken, and beef at home until he was in ninth grade. He always participated in creative writing in local fairs and school contests. Dan went to trade school, obtained a degree in an engineering science field, and now works as an inspector. He married the love of his life in 2010, and they have three beautiful baby boys together. |
