DISCOVER CHILDREN'S STORY CENTRE

Free with entry ticket. Dancing Dumplings for My One and Only is a story celebrating the power of love, family bonds, the memory of traditions and a truly (delicious) universal food – DUMPLINGS!

A little girl is shown how to make dumplings by her grandma and they absolutely love the ritual of cooking together: We roll. We fill. We pinch and pleat. We cook! When Grandma gets sick, the little girl takes her turn to make dumplings and help soothe her grandma back to wellness – channelling as much love and comfort as she can into her cooking. Luckily, delicious homemade dumplings hold a lot of goodness inside.

Drawing from her own Chinese heritage, author Eva Wong Nava shows, with lyricism, warmth and poetry, how cooking provides children with a sense of connection to their family, as well as a feeling of community, and how making food can be a hugely healing process. With stunning detailed illustration from Natelle Quek.
