A celebration of the traditional Chinese customs passed on from generation to generation: togetherness, love, family—and FOOD!  Today is Sunday and that means its dim sum time with my whole family! I can’t wait to see everyone, especially Grandma. I’m going to eat lots of shrimp dumplings, rice noodle rolls, egg tarts, and my favorite—char siu buns. We will have to order enough for us all to share. So what are you waiting for Dim sum, here we come! A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD GOLD STANDARD SELECTION!

Reviews

While the food might seem to steal the show in this cheerful book, Lam links it all together with an emphasis on sharing: sharing dim sum means I love you. Whether they're familiar with dim sum or not, little kids are sure to recognize the experience of eating lots (and lots!) of food with loved ones. - Booklist
