A Gift

(4) K-3 During Chinese New Year, a woman and her daughter receive a letter from their family in China. With it comes a gift: a dragon carved by one uncle from a stone found by another uncle strung on a cord by an aunt and sent across the world for their niece. An author's note extends this slim but heartfelt story illustrated with atmospheric watercolors.
