"A whimsical story about being different, and the power of love."--Wendy Orr, author ofNim's Island andThe Princess and Her Panther Its not easy being the ugliest dumpling in a dim sum restaurant. Uneaten and ignored, the ugly dumpling is down in the dumps. But when an encouraging cockroach sees the dumplings inner beauty, this unlikely duo embarks on an eye-opening adventure, leading the ugly dumpling to discover its true identity and realize that being different is beautiful after all. A modern fairytale retelling with a timeless moral: Theres a little ugly dumpling in all of us.

Weird. And perhaps racially insensitive.

We had xiaolongbao for lunch today (also wonton noodles, red bean bao) and it made me think of the funny picture book The Ugly Dumpling - a dumpling always feels so ugly and a misfit among the other dumplings at the dim sum restaurant. It turns out he's not a dumpling but a steamed bao 😂

LeahBergen Ohhhhhh! XLB are my favourite. 😍😍 I may need this book. 😆 7y

An adorable book set in a dim sum restaurant. It stars a dumpling that doesn't look like the other dumplings and its unusual friendship with a cockroach. A fun read and such cute illustrations!
