nA funny debut picture book about how one little ramen packet finds self-love and belonging in a spaghetti-obsessed world. nEven from Ramens small shelf in the supermarket, they see spaghetti propaganda everywhere. They want to be celebrated, too. Maybe, Ramen misguidedly thinks, I have to change to be loved like that. I want to be spaghetti! they proclaim to the dismay of the rest of the instant noodle section. n nBut when Ramens brought home and placed in a warm bowl of broth alongside new friends like Chashu, Narutomaki, and Nori, they realize theyve always been perfect exactly the way they are. Colorfully illustrated by Claudia Lam (@theforestmori), this heartwarming story about identity and community from food writer Kiera Wright-Ruiz (@kierawrr) celebrates the beauty of being yourself --and being recognized for who you are.n
