The book is really descriptive and reminded me of my childhood making bánh lọc with my mom while growing up in a small town in Oklahoma. Making bánh bột lọc, as my mom called it, was a way to bring a little bit of central Vietnam to our new home. Btw, the person and name that is shown in Amazon’s online description as the author is the illustrator, not the author. Both did a great job but I would like to see the author get the credit as the author and the illustrator get the credit as the illustrator.

I read this with my kindergartner and this book has become one of her favorites. She really enjoyed the story and was able to recognized most of the words in the book. After a few time reading she was able to read some of the sentences and recognize more words. This is a great book for us to teach our daughter how to read. The illustrations on the book looks great too.

What’s in a Dumpling, Grandma is a gorgeous picture book by Linda Meeker and illustrated by Sandra Eide. In our story Grey and Mila ask their grandmother to how to make dumplings. The story shares how to make dumplings and takes the reader step by step through the process with a recipe for fish sauce at the end.
What’s in a Dumpling is beautifully illustrated. The pictures draw you into the story and you can not help, but smile as you read the book. I loved the sweet relationship between the children and their grandmother. Though the story shares about making dumplings, but it is truly so much more. It shares themes of family, love, and celebrating traditions.
What’s in a Dumpling , Grandma is a charming story with beautiful illustrations, relatable themes, and celebrates family. I highly recommend.
I was given a complimentary copy and not required to write a review.

Grey and his cousin Mila visit their grandmother to learn about making dumplings. This picture book felt just like a visit to grandma's. It was also informative, teaching both the characters and the reader how to make dumplings. A sweet reminder of the love grandmas give.

I really enjoyed the new book, "What's in a Dumpling, Grandma?" The story and illustrations are perfect for children and very sweet. I really like that there are Vietnamese words sprinkled throughout. There is even a fish sauce recipe included in the back! Don't read this book on an empty stomach though - your family will want to run right to the kitchen to cook some dumplings! I would recommend this book as a read-aloud for ages 5-8.

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2024
Grey and Mila are going to visit their grandmother to make Vietnamese dumplings, Bánh Loc, presumably for the lunar new year. Grandmother shares her recipe for Bánh Loc as she tells her grandchildren how she remembers making these dumplings for holidays and when someone is sick and brought the recipe with her to America to share with her grandchildren as her grandmother shared with her.
