A Mooncake Festival story about a family celebrating a holiday together, even when miles apart.

Pearl is eager to welcome loved ones to her house for the traditional Mooncake Festival dinner. But her family is spread far and wide, and this year they won't be able to reunite over the special dinner.

A relatable story of celebrating virtually for holidays when families are separated by distance, and a reminder that our holiday traditions connect us even when we're not together. This Mid-Autumn Festival story includes details about the traditions around this holiday, including backmatter with a mooncake recipe and instructions for making a paper lantern.

"A lovely and touching story about the perpetual ties of family, even as times change, and the Mooncake Festival. Tender and sweet, just like a mooncake!"
- Grace Lin, Newbery, Geisel & Caldecott Honor author-illustrator

"An enchanting tribute to a beloved holiday and warm acknowledgment that familial bonds are a constant despite change.”
- Kirkus Reviews
