Ten Little Dumplings by Larissa Fan is a wonderful and uplifting story based on the true account of a Taiwanese family who were blessed with ten sons, their very own good luck dumplings. Imagine being the lone daughter in such a family, forever in the collective shadow of ten brothers who were so unique that the villagers wrote songs about them. Such is the case for our narrator, who continues to watch, learn, and grow alongside her brothers to become a fully realized and successful person in her own right.

This beautifully illustrated story is truly inspiring, and a reminder that whatever our circumstances, our individual light can never be diminished. Recommended.
