This tender and warm picture book is a touching ode to grandparents and family traditions―even picky eating.
Mimi's Waipo loves liangcha, but Mimi thinks her grandmother's favorite tea is just too bitter.
It burns her lips, it tastes sour on her tongue, and it smells like her grandfather's socks―yuck!
Mimi secretly feeds her liangcha to the fish, and hides it in a plant, and pours it down the sink―anything to avoid drinking it again. But Waipo has an idea. One morning, she makes a new batch of liangcha for them to share. Will Waipo's secret ingredient be enough to win Mimi over?
