The Dim Sum Palace
By X Fang
Review by Renata
Inspired by author/illustrator X Fang’s memories of childhood dim sum feasts, this story is as satisfying as the good-enough-to-eat food she lovingly draws. At the center of the story is Liddy, a plucky and unshakeable heroine whose facial expressions alone make every turn of the page rewarding. Shortlisted for the 2025 Waterstones Children’s Book prize, the whimsical, dreamlike story has overtones of Maurice Sendak’s classic In the Night Kitchen. Make this a tasty new favourite in your family.
