Description
Little Mei asks her grandfather about each of the four different Chinese celebrations represented. He tells her the stories of Nian and the monster Xi (Chinese New Year); Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet who loved his kingdom (Dragon Boat Festival); the Jade Emperor of Heaven who ordered the earth to be destroyed by fire (Lantern Festival); and Hou Yi who shot down the suns (Mid-Autumn Festival). This charming book explains why family members have come together on this special evening. The story of Hou Yi, a hero who saved the world from destruction, is shared with Little Mei. She learns about his wife, Chang'e, who floats to the moon and how they are still remembered today. The book also includes a quick recipe for traditional moon cakes, adding a delicious touch to the celebration. This beautifully illustrated book provides a unique insight into Chinese culture and traditions. It's a lovely way to learn about the Mid-Autumn Festival and its significance in Chinese communities.
