Book tour:
"Dumplings Mean Family"
by Jennifer Shaw
#1 Amazon best-selling children's book about adoption!
Jennifer Shaw's new children's book, “Dumplings Mean Family” is told from her son Ethan’s perspective as he shares what it was like to join their family after his adoption. “When Ethan and his siblings are adopted from China to the United States, everything seems so strange and different. Their new American family doesn't even know how to make Chinese food! The children are worried. Will they ever get to eat their favorite meals again? For Ethan's family, embracing two cultures means learning to fold and pinch their way to dumplings that taste like home.” Truly a family project, Jennifer’s oldest daughter, Rinnah, also served as illustrator for this heartwarming book celebrating the truth that families can be strong and united when they commit to loving each other for who they truly are. As Ethan says, “We may be different in some ways, but we are one family!”

“As an elementary educator, and an adoptive mama myself – I couldn’t LOVE this book more! The way acceptance and tolerance are shown through is so important for young readers. I am always looking for quality stories to share with my class, and my own children, that place value on accepting and honoring our differences, and Dumplings Mean Family does this so very well. And let’s not overlook the amazing illustrations in this book! The stunning detail and the bright colors drew me in from the second I opened it. — Erin B., elementary school teacher and adoptive parent
