Jade and Crystal love the Mid-Autumn Festival because it means it's time to make a tasty treat-mooncakes! Crystal's favorite part of the delicious dessert made of lotus seed paste is the yummy salted egg yolk at the center, meant to represent the moon. Join the sisters as they gather with their family for a memorable meal together!

Complete with fun facts about the holiday in the back of the book, young readers will want to revisit this story again and again.

Exciting, easy-to-read books are the stepping stone a young reader needs to bridge the gap between being a beginner and being fluent.

Reviews for Mooncakes Mean Family

“[A] cozy introduction to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Shum gently conveys the warmth and joy of this celebration; he wraps up with a retelling of the legend of Change’e, the moon goddess.” – Kirkus “[A] fun teaching tool for children who are not familiar with the holiday [and] a cute and accessible introduction to the Mid-Autumn Festival.” – School Library Journal
