What is Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao about?

Amy Wu loves making bao with her family, but creating the perfect bun is trickier than it looks. Her bao are too big, too small, or simply not quite right, and Amy becomes frustrated when everyone else seems to get it right. Determined to succeed, she experiments with new ideas and refuses to give up. With encouragement from her family, Amy discovers that cooking is about more than perfection—it is about patience, creativity and sharing something delicious with the people she loves.
