Young Jimmy Choo learns how to make shoes at the feet of his father, making his first pair of sandals for his mother. As time goes on and lots of hard work is put in by Jimmy, he achieves mega success when he starts designing shoes for Diana, Princess of Wales.

This is a very beautiful picture book biography. There are great overt messages about working hard and persevering, as well as subtler ones about having a strong familial relationship and being smart enough to find your audience when it comes to work. This is all the more powerful and inspirational by being a nonfiction title rather than a story about a fictional hard worker.

The illustrations in this book are extremely eye-catching. They are bright and cheery, with lots of details on every page to pore over. There's a fun style to them that is a cross between animation and fashion book designs.

This is definitely a great book for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month (and all the rest of the year too). It's good for children who are interested in design and fashion, as well as those who just want to learn about different people and what they do. This could be useful in a school unit about careers for that reason. It may also be useful for talking about inspirational leadership and ways to influence the world.

The versatility of ramen comes to light in a fun tale, which will have readers wanting to dive into the dish themselves.

Hiro's dad is the most amazing ramen cook and is able to meet the desires of everyone in the family. When Hiro decides he wants to cook ramen, too, he takes the recipe and gives it a go...which doesn't run as well as he'd hoped. Now, Hiro's family is hungry, and their favorite ingredients are in the garbage trash. He's not sure what to do.

Ramen takes center stage in this read as readers/listeners learn some of the various ways it can be served...and learn that there are, actually, no limits other than personal taste. It's inspiring to see how Hiro's dad flies through the kitchen with ease as Hiro watches with hunger and excitement. This alone will have readers wanting to try new combinations with the dish, but the tale doesn't stop there.

Hiro's desire to do it himself hits home, especially when his enthusiasm crumbles as things don't work out as he'd hoped...and that while he followed directions. Many listeners/readers will be able to empathize with the situation of disappointment and nervousness. It also shows there's no reason to be ashamed and that reaching out for help isn't a bad thing. There's family warmth woven in as well to make it a wholesome read. At the end, there is a recipe, which readers/listeners can use to create their own ramen dish.

The text and illustrations are both well done and fit to the intended age group. The scenes will make readers/listeners smile, while the text gives the right amount of flow without growing too heavy. It makes a nice read aloud and expands the view on how to consume ramen.
