It is always nice to hear that people read my books and then have a party...which is what seems to have happened at the Ford Elementary School in Michigan, 800 miles from Cambridge, MA. The news article is titled" Using their noodles: 'Diversity celebration' tied to book" by Paula Evans Neuman is excerpted below...

Oodles of noodles were piled on plates at Ford line Elementary School in Southgate recently.
The occasion?
A lesson on diversity keyed to a book, “Everybody Brings Noodles,” read by student teacher Amanda Green to the second-graders in BethAnn Taylor’s classroom.
The book, one in a series by author Norah Dooley, is about a little girl who organizes a block party in her multi-ethnic neighborhood.
To her surprise and delight, everyone brings a different sort of pasta, her favorite food. The book includes recipes.
Green asked the Southgate children’s parents to make the dishes in the book so they could be shared during a “diversity celebration” at school, Taylor said
