The special mooncake seems like the only excitement on an otherwise boring day in the market where nothing changes… until an exhausted stranger falls to his knees right in the street! He ran through forests, swam through rivers, and even stowed away on a ship, all to get to Hong Kong. Now at the end of his journey, all he needs is a bite to eat, but no one seems willing to help―not even the girl, if it means giving up her prized treat.

The girl’s ultimate decision has surprising, far-reaching consequences in this mostly true story that reminds us that even the smallest acts of kindness hold the power to change lives, for the giver as much as the receiver.

Each member of the family lends a hand as they prepare a moonlit picnic with mooncakes, pomelos, cups of tea, and colorful lanterns. And everyone sends thanks and a secret wish up to the moon.

Grace Lin’s luminous and gloriously patterned artwork is perfect for this holiday tale. Her story is simple—tailor-made for reading aloud to young children. And she includes an informative author’s note with further details on the customs and traditions of the Moon Festival for parents and teachers. The Moon Festival is one of the most important holidays of the year along with the Lunar New Year, so this book makes an excellent companion to Grace Lin’s Bringing In the New Year, which features the same family.

From the author of The Boring Book, a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book, comes a delightfully comical story about being a kid in an adult’s world where so many things seem unfair!

Why can’t a kid eat cookies right before bed? Why do adults get to stay up late while kids have to go to bed early? And why do adults say, “Not now!” right when kids want to play?! In this humorous picture book from acclaimed author-illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake, one very patient father offers increasingly imaginative explanations for his kid’s complaints. The result? A more-than-fair, laugh-out-loud reading experience for all!

ENCOURAGES CREATIVE THINKING: Kids have been asking “why” since the beginning of time, and this funny book captures that natural curiosity in a clever way. Wildly imaginative scenarios will inspire little readers to ask questions and dream up their own elaborate explanations for the silliness in their lives, sparking conversation, connection, and out-of-the-box thinking.

RISING STAR AUTHOR: Shinsuke Yoshitake’s The Boring Book delighted readers and was named a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book of the Year and Amazon Best Book of the Month. His follow-up, There Must Be More Than That!, similarly met with rave reviews and was selected as both a Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book and New York Times Notable Book of the Year.

STELLAR READ-ALOUD: Smart, comedic pacing, increasingly imaginative scenarios, and a compelling voice add up to reader (and parent) satisfaction. Great for classroom story time and family reading.

LAUGH-OUT-LOUD HUMOR: Everything in this book is over-the-top. Kids wouldn’t want it any other way! There are hilarious moments on every page and ample opportunities for young readers to marvel at the absurdity throughout.

Perfect for:

• Fans of award-winning author-illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake
• Parents, grandparents, caregivers, and teachers
• Gift-givers seeking a humorous picture book about growing up
• Adding to the shelf alongside popular books by Taro Gomi, Mo Willems, Jon Klassen, and Mac Barnett
