“You can practically smell Pip’s donuts in this lovely story about preserving culture through food, the loving embrace of family, and the sweetness of children.” Alan Lightman, Professor of Humanities at MIT, author of Ada and the Galaxies and Isabel and the Invisible World
“This enchanting book celebrates the role of food in integrating immigrants into American life. Chanda Ouk Wolf draws on her roots in her native Cambodian culture to paint a charming picture of how creative cuisine can draw diverse cultures and communities ever closer. Ms. Wolf even provides an alluring bonus: an irresistible recipe for Cambodian donuts that can be made in your own kitchen.” Finlay Lewis, former reporter for Congressional Quarterly
“This is such a sweet story, clearly focusing on the dual cultures of America and Cambodia in a clever, touching, and memorable way. I hope to get this book in the hands of children who love to read—or not.

“The world needs more of this—diverse voices, cultures, and perspectives in children’s literature.” Martin T. Meehan, President of the University of Massachusetts and former United States Congressman
