Amy's favorite food is Bao. She could eat it all day every day, but she's finding it's hard to make. Her mom and dad and grandma have a lot of fun making the perfect Bao, but none of Amy's work out - too little, too full, the dough has a hole - she is so disappointed; until she has an idea, and grandma helps her solve the problem. Now Amy's Bao is perfect, too! 

Family traditions are not always easy for the youngest to participate in - especially when it includes helping with the cooking. I loved Kat Zhang's sweet Amy, she's so determined and keeps trying, and Charlene Chua's illustrations are bright and adorable. Includes Amy's family recipe so you can try it yourself!
