Can Millie make dumplings alone and bring joy to her tired LaoLao?
Millie loves making dumplings with her grandmother, LaoLao, using fresh ingredients from Chinatown. But as LaoLao grows too tired to cook, Millie faces a challenge: can she create the perfect dumplings on her own? With humor and heart, this tale explores family bonds, community, and the love shared through food. Will Millie's efforts bring a smile to LaoLao's face and keep their cherished tradition alive?
Millie loves to help LaoLao cook, especially her favorite dish. Dumplings! They gather fresh ingredients from Chinatown. Chives from Auntie Lim, shrimp from Uncle Lee, and juicy, fragrant lychees that make their days together so sweet. As the seasons change, LaoLao feels more and more tired, too tired to make dumplings. But can Millie make them without LaoLao? And will her dumplings come out delicious, and make LaoLao happy, too? Full of humor, heart, and wholly original illustrations, this story is a timeless celebration of family, food, community, and the different ways we share love.
