Trade Review"
Mei Mei's Lucky Birthday Noodles is a beautiful, warm story full of the universal joys of a mother's love, a birthday wish and a bowl of homemade goodness. The writing and illustrations make you smile, teach you a few things, and also inspire you to start planning your next meal. We look forward to reading what Mei Mei cooks next!" --
Roz Edison and Kamala Saxton Owners, Marination, Seattle"I love that this book teaches culture, the unity of a mother and child sharing quality time in the kitchen, and the joy of making a delicious cultural dish." --
Nautica de la Cruz, radio personality, KJLH, Los Angeles"Children will enjoy reading how Mei-Mei makes the birthday noodles with the help of her mom. Readers can then try making noodles themselves with the kid-friendly recipe in the back of the book. Beautiful watercolor illustrations grace each page and show how Mei-Mei celebrates her culture through food. For bicultural families like mine, this book is a great way to keep my daughter's Chinese heritage alive through her love of reading and cooking. However, the universal themes of family, love, birthdays, traditions and food span across all cultures. As such, this book would be ideal for all children." --
