Amelia ★★★★★

The illustrations by Dung Ho are absolutely gorgeous—every page feels warm and festive, like you’re right there with Ren’s family. My kids asked to read it three times in a row, and we can’t wait to try the recipe together.

Kevin ★★★★★

The recipe at the end was a wonderful surprise—my kids loved making the dumplings together after we finished reading. The illustrations of the family preparing for the holiday feel so warm and inviting, it really brought the traditions to life for us.

James ★★★★★

My nephew was mesmerized by the colorful illustrations of the family making dumplings together. Seeing the Lunar New Year traditions through Ren's eyes brought back so many memories. We're planning to try the recipe this weekend.
