In this remarkable author-illustrator debut that's perfect for fans of Last Stop on Market Street and Extra Yarn, a generous woman is rewarded by her community. Everyone in the neighborhood dreams of a taste of Omu's delicious stew One by one, they follow their noses toward the scrumptious scent. And one by one, Omu offers a portion of her meal. Soon the pot is empty. Has she been so generous that she has nothing left for herself? Debut author-illustrator Oge Mora brings to life a heartwarming story of sharing and community in colorful cut-paper designs as luscious as Omu's stew, with an extra serving of love. An author's note explains that "Omu" (pronounced AH-moo) means "queen" in the Igbo language of her parents, but growing up, she used it to mean "Grandma." This book was inspired by the strong female role models in Oge Mora's life.Binding Type: Hardcover

Basic everyday napkins but very thin
These are about as basic as paper napkins get. They work fine for everyday meals and quick cleanup, but they are definitely on the thinner side.
You usually end up needing more than one for messier foods or larger spills because they don’t feel especially absorbent or heavy-duty.
That said, the large count is convenient for everyday household use, cookouts, lunch packing, or casual gatherings where you go through napkins quickly.
Overall they’re functional budget napkins, just nothing particularly thick or special.

Solid Choice for Everyday Use
Would definitely order again when I run out. Sometimes the basics done well beat the alternatives trying too hard to be special. If you're looking for dependable napkins that won't let you down during dinner or cleanup time, these deliver. No fancy features, no gimmicks - just straightforward functionality at a fair price.

Simple, Durable, and a Great Pantry Staple
I bought these because they were inexpensive, and they turned out to be exactly what I expected in a good way.
They’re durable, have the size and softness of a standard everyday napkin, and the absorbency is solid for normal meals and spills.
The pack is a good size—it fits easily in my pantry but still holds a lot of napkins, so it lasts a long time before needing to restock.
If you’re just looking for simple, reliable napkins at a great price, these are a really good value.
