What is Dumpling day about?
Ten families from around the world are preparing dumplings for a neighbourhood potluck. In each kitchen, children help make a different kind, from Indian samosas and Japanese gyoza to Mexican tamales and Italian ravioli. As the dumplings are cooked and added to the shared plates, readers count from one to ten. Rhyming text celebrates family, food and cultural traditions, while the endnotes include recipes, a map and facts about each dumpling’s origins.
