A beautiful book that shows the different ways families make dumplings. This book stood out because it emphasizes the importance of coming together as a family and a community to create something you are proud of. I think this book does a great job of depicting a variety of dumplings from around the world. In the end, everyone in the apartment complex gathers together to share their dish with friends as the aromas of pure delight wafts through the air. After reading this book, readers will find that their stomachs feel just as full as their hearts.
