Bitter Dumplings

(2) K-3 In a story set in fifteenth-century China, dumplings serve to bring together three people--a homeless girl, an old hunchbacked woman, and an enslaved ship's carpenter--whose experiences have been painfully bitter. Lee's delicately detailed art balances landscapes and domestic scenes; the story's action is dramatically paced across successive panels resembling Chinese screen paintings.
