A Big Mooncake for Little Star

A Big Mooncake for Little Star

by Grace Lin

About This Book

Little Star and her mama bake a beautiful mooncake together, but Little Star isn't supposed to eat any of it yet. When she can't resist sneaking nibbles night after night, the mooncake slowly disappears - mirroring the phases of the moon in a clever and heartwarming way.

Why We Love This

Grace Lin weaves Chinese culture and astronomy into the sweetest story about a child's impatience. The shimmering, dark illustrations are truly magical.
