Overview

**A New Atlantic INDIE BESTSELLER!**

The beloved bestselling author of The Hurricane Sisters and Porch Lights, Dorothea Benton Frank, and her daughter, Victoria Benton Frank, join forces to bring young readers a powerful (and scrumptious) story about a standout kid who learns to stick up for himself and the things he loves.

Teddy really, really, REALLY loves spaghetti. What he doesn’t love is getting teased at school. When Teddy takes his favorite food to lunch, a bully calls him a not-so-nice name:

TED-DY  SPA-GHET-TI!

Will Teddy let his new nickname prevent him from enjoying what he loves most?

Find out in Dorothea Benton Frank’s first-ever children's book. It's certain to encourage kids to be themselves and to take a bite (or slurp) out of life!

Perfect for anti-bullying and self-confidence discussions with children.
