retold by Hatsue Nakawaki
illus. by MICAO
Once upon a time there was a little girl who sat down to eat her dumplings. But her dumplings rolled away, so, naturally she followed, only to find herself in a realm of dumpling-loving demons! She is forced to make them dumplings until she finds a way to escape using their special scoop. The little girl’s story is part of a series of folklore heroines from around the world: fearless and powerful women who are celebrated for their bravery, ingenuity and strength.
