From the Author
Stone Soup came to life when I was a young, divorced mom of two daughters. Trying to cope with the challenges of being a stressed-out working mom, I turned to humor. I found it addictive. 20+ years later, I'm very attached to the cartoon family which grew, sometimes of its own will, out of my own life.

Nobody's family is picture perfect. All you can do is laugh!

Customer Reviews

Jan Eliot never disappoints!
As always, I immensely enjoyed this collection of Stone Soup comic strips. It covers a lot of demographic ground, from toddlers to teens, and from middle-agers to golden-agers. The characters are endearing, the writing is lively and funny, and the situations are eerily familiar. In short, what's not to love?
