New Book: The Ugly Dumpling by Stephanie Campisi and Shahar Kober



The Ugly Dumpling by Stephanie Campisi (Author) and Shahar Kober (Illustrator) was released this past April. And, yes, it's a retelling of Andersen's The Ugly Duckling. With Dumplings.


Book description:

"A whimsical story about being different, and the power of love."—Wendy Orr, author of Nim's Island and The Princess and Her Panther

It’s not easy being the ugliest dumpling in a dim sum restaurant. Uneaten and ignored, the ugly dumpling is down in the dumps. But when an encouraging cockroach sees the dumpling’s inner beauty, this unlikely duo embarks on an eye-opening adventure, leading the ugly dumpling to discover its true identity and realize that being different is beautiful after all.

A modern fairytale retelling with a timeless moral: There’s a little ugly dumpling in all of us.
