From author-illustrator Maple Lam comes a new picture book about a Chinese American girl and her younger sister as they attend their weekly dim sum family gathering. A celebration of the traditional Chinese customs passed on from generation to generation: togetherness, love, family—and FOOD!

Today is Sunday and that means it’s dim sum time with my whole family! I can’t wait to see everyone, especially Grandma.

I’m going to eat lots of shrimp dumplings, rice noodle rolls, egg tarts, and my favourite—char siu buns. We will have to order enough for us all to share.

So what are you waiting for? Dim Sum, Here We Come!
