Stone Soup, the Latest Children’s Book by Author Jacqueline Washington, Launches July 26, 2025
A Modern Retelling That Celebrates Community, Generosity, and the Power of Coming Together
Louisa, VA — July 26, 2025 — Angel 3 Publishing proudly announces the release of Stone Soup, the latest children’s book by author Jacqueline Washington, debuting during the Boozey Book Fest on Saturday, July 26, 2025.
Stone Soup is a heartfelt reimagining of the classic folktale, following the youngest Washington sibling as he inspires his family and neighbors to unite over a shared meal. Through themes of collaboration and generosity, young readers discover a timeless truth: we are stronger together than we are alone.
“This story comes from a place of love,” says Washington, a U.S. Army veteran and mother of four. “It reflects the values I’ve passed down to my children and what I hope other families will embrace—compassion, creativity, and community.”
Washington’s storytelling is paired with vibrant illustrations that bring the warmth of the kitchen and the joy of togetherness to life. Stone Soup is a must-have for families, teachers, and libraries looking to foster conversations about empathy and cooperation.
To celebrate the release, readers who preorder the book will receive a downloadable coloring page companion from Washington’s earlier book, What Color Am I, Mommy?
