Helping Hands picture book
Dumplings for the New Neighbors
A read aloud picture book for kids ages 5 to 8 (Kindergarten to 3rd Grade). Tap Read it to me and Buzzby the bee reads each page out loud, so early readers can follow along with the words.

The first pages
A big moving truck was parked on Lina's street in Vancouver. A new family was moving in next door. They looked very tired.
"Moving day is busy," said Lina's father, Baba. "They will not have time to cook. Let's make them dinner." Lina clapped. "Dumplings!"
What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.
Talk time questions
- Why did Baba think the new family needed dinner?
- What was Lina's job in the kitchen?
- How could you welcome a new neighbor or classmate?
