“[Little ones will] be captivated by the plethora of wrapped cuteness, and the simple message will resonate. Yummy cuteness for toddlers and preschoolers.” — Kirkus Reviews 

“Colorful, inviting artwork reinforces the idea of food as a connecting force and cultural touchstone, making this a nice, subtle introduction to a range of traditions and a global mindset. There's something undeniably lovely in learning that wherever you go, dumplings will be there, too.”
