Ten Little Dumplings door Larissa Fan
Okay, so I get it--Chinese heritage and culture says the males are more significant and of greater importance. But to have the whole book be written by the one left out.....just kind of hit me hard you know!
Confusing to me ... everyone looks like they are from Paris, not Fengfu ...
"In the village of Fengfu,
at the top of the hill,
in a very large house,
there lived a special family.
Special because they had ten sons..."
But observant readers (or those who read the flap copy or author's note first) will notice that there is an eleventh little dumpling lurking throughout - a sister! The sister turns out to be the narrator, and the audience turns out to be her daughter. A charming modern Taiwanese twist on a Chinese folktale ("Ten Brothers").

This story was suppressing. A twianesse family has been granted superior luck with ten sons. These sons are well known for all they accomplish in life. They grow up to be ten wise and lucky men. But wait, in the background there is one more, a sister, who has to grow up with the famous 10. This story peeks behind the curtain of “famous” stories to see the second hand players and note they are just as important as top tier stars. This book was lovely, and the illustrations have a familiar quality that make them warm and inviting. #BBRC… (meer)
