I Want To Be Spaghetti!
Even from Ramenās 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. āI want to be spaghetti!ā they proclaim to the dismay of the rest of the instant noodle section.
But when Ramenās brought home and placed in a warm bowl of broth alongside new friends like Chashu, Narutomaki, and Nori, they realize theyāve 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 āand being recognized for who you are.
