Greetings! Today we launched a Kickstarter campaign for our new book idea The Discovery of Ramen.
Hopefully this will be the first adventure in an ongoing series called The Asian Hall of Fame.
The kids Emma and Ethan see something that piques their curiosity. Lucky for them...POOF! Out of a cloud of smoke comes a cute red panda! Dao can show them how that cool thing was invented in Asia. Dao can guide them back into time and place and bring them to where it all began.
The first journey is about ramen!
There has never been a U.S. children's book about ramen.
We intend to remedy that oversight. Ramen is more popular than ever and millions of people love eating it around the world.
So we hope those ramen lovers will learn about our book idea and support it on Kickstarter.
The tale of ramen starts in Japan in the 1800s. From there, Dao leads Emma and Ethan across the country to explore how these noodles became special. Together they visit restaurants, factories, and museums.
Then they zip through the decades, into outer space and back to America, where ramen mania has gripped the West!
Co-authors Phil Amara (The Treehouse Heroes) and Oliver Chin (Julie Black Belt) unite with artist Juan Calle (Good Dream, Bad Dream) to create a journey that blends travel, history, culture, food, and fun!
We have a special combo of rewards for our Kickstarter backers. So check out our project and we appreciate your support. With your help, we'll all enjoy fantastic storybook which can be a great gift to give for the upcoming holiday season.
