A little long for a storytime, but a sweet story of community and food nonetheless. Tsering walks home one day, inviting others to dine with him and his grandmother on noodle soup. It's not until a power outage threatens the meal preparation that I even realized Tsering is blind. In hindsight it should have been obvious, as he walks through his village with a cane. The little hungry group navigates the brief power outage and has a great time sharing a meal.

Shot through with onomatopoeia and little rhymes, the story celebrates family and community and care.

Recipe for noodle soup included.
