Reviews
"Gouache illustrations in mostly red, blue, and purple tones are highlighted with numerous origami paper designs. Back matter has notes about the traditional legend of the moon fairy, instructions for making a Chinese lantern, and a discussion of market life in China. This book sheds light on a unique cultural tradition" - School Library Journal
"In shades of mauve, the double-page spread of an obedient but forlorn Lin Yi pedaling home is especially affecting... The length of the narrative and accompanying cultural information make this an excellent supplement for primary multicultural units" -Booklist
