Subtitle of this books is: Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. This is an Alfred A Knopf Books for Young Readers hardcover, and they sent me a copy for review. It is currently available in your local bookstore and is written for ages 5-8.
Ms. Lin writes a very graceful story about the Chinese holiday of Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. Her illustrations take you on the picnic under the moon and lets you see how the whole family comes together to celebrate. Learn a bit about Chinese culture and enjoy the vibrant colors she uses to infuse her story with the idea of celebration.
Maybe you and your family could begin a tradition of a night-time picnic under the moon and stars. Here's a link to a recipe for the moon cakes: moon cakes Or you could create your own tradition by serving your own special dessert...
Go visit your local bookstore and pick up a copy. And happy reading!
