Dancing Dumplings for My One and Only: A celebration of food and family
Celebrate the power of love, family bonds, the memory of traditions and sharing truly delicious food with this beautifully illustrated hardback picture book, jacketed with gold foil.

"This beautiful, lyrical picture book offers a heartfelt story of empathy, centred on a little girl’s love for her grandma and their shared ritual of making dumplings." Inclusive Books for Children

A little girl is shown how to make dumplings by her grandma and they absolutely love the ritual of cooking together: We roll. We fill. We pinch and pleat. We cook! When Grandma gets sick, the little girl takes her turn to make dumplings and help soothe her grandma back to wellness – channeling as much love and comfort as she can into her cooking. Luckily, delicious homemade dumplings hold a lot of goodness inside.

Drawing from her own Chinese heritage, author Eva Wong Nava shows, with lyricism, warmth and poetry, how cooking provides children with a sense of connection to their family, as well as a feeling of community, and how making food can be a hugely healing process. With stunning detailed illustrations from Natelle Quek, this is a delicious celebration of a book for Chinese New Year, and any time of year.
