"The aromas of homemade food sneak their way across an entire multicultural neighborhood as growling bellies wait to be filled with…dumplings! Recipes from Nigeria, Syria, China, Russia, Mexico, and more reveal tasty fillings tucked into doughs that are boiled, steamed, fried, and baked . . . Sriram's simple rhyming story celebrating the unifying magic of food pairs well with the childlike naïveté of de Antuñano's inclusive and diverse gouache illustrations" - Kirkus Reviews
