Amy love eating bao — sometimes she eats them all day! And she loves to make bao with her family. But it takes skill to make the bao taste and look delicious. And her bao keep coming out all wrong. When the determined girl tries yet again, her bao keep turning out a mess, even with advice from her mother, father, and grandmother. Then she has an idea that may give her a second chance... Will Amy ever make the perfect bao?
This exuberant story of a determined Mighty Girl who struggles with learning a skill will speak to many young readers — and the included bao recipe will encourage them to give making their own bao a try!
"Amy is good at many other things, Zhang assures readers, and bao making can’t be too far beyond her grasp — especially since her parents and grandmother are happy to dedicate a day to helping. But perfection continues to elude the increasingly frazzled child, until she figures out how to hack the process by using smaller dough circles ('Amy-size'), which yield flawless bao that 'are soft and fluffy and so, so delicious'.... A bao recipe concludes, as does a revelation that 'not-so-perfect bao' taste just as a good as their tidy counterparts." — Publishers Weekly
