In English, dim sum means "little hearts," or "touches the heart," but to this young girl, dim sum means delicious. On a visit to a bustling dim sum restaurant, a family picks their favorite little dishes from the steaming trolleys filled with dumplings, cakes, buns, and tarts. And as is traditional and fun, they share their food with each other so that everyone gets a bite of everything.
Just right for young children, Dim Sum for Everyone! celebrates a cultural custom and a universal favorite activity-eating!

This is so sad. Had been reading to my daughter a board book of "Dim Sum For Everyone!" by @pacylin hoping to take her to places like Jing Fong someday soon. https://t.co/G3jBP1w1FE

my one year old has memorized the names of every family member in "Dim Sum for Everyone!" So it looks like I need to buy every book by Grace Lin now. https://t.co/kQHdK6i49l
