Mooncakes is the lyrical story of a young girl who shares the special celebration of the Chinese Moon Festival with her parents. As they eat mooncakes, drink tea and watch the night sky together, Mama and Baba tell ancient tales of a magical tree that can never be cut down, the Jade Rabbit who came to live on the moon and one brave woman's journey to eternal life. With a gentle focus on the importance of family, Mooncakes is both a perfect book for parent and child to read together and an ideal choice for schools and libraries.

Add a CommentLovely stories with nuanced message. Not sure if they are culturally correct, but hope so. Good illustrations.
A family spends its Moon Festival together, relating stories of those that live on the moon. A wonderful cultural piece that depicts both the beauty of the moon and family.
