Dumpling Days by Grace Lin

4.0

A companion to Year of the Dog and Year of the Rat, Dumpling Days is based on the author's childhood trip to Taiwan with her family. I liked how the name thing (the character who voices the story is Pacy, a nick name for Pei Se) and being a person who loves to learn what names mean, enjoyed the whole discussion of names, and name chops. The voice, as always, seems true to Pacy's age in life, and I love that the sibling drama has small moments of harmony among the usual discord.
