Summary

This tender and warm audiobook is a touching ode to grandparents and family traditions—even picky eating. It features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun!


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?

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company (BYR)
