A Chinese-American family celebrates the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival with a nighttime picnic featuring mooncakes, pomelos, tea, and lanterns glowing against the darkness. Each family member helps prepare the feast, and when the full moon rises, everyone sends their own quiet wishes skyward. Grace Lin’s illustrations are filled with luminous colors and intricate patterns that capture the warmth and wonder of this evening celebration. An author’s note explains the festival’s customs and traditions, offering families a window into this important Chinese holiday.
