Illustrated by
Tungwai Chau.
This original tale set in China is a cross between "The Gingerbread Man" and "The Miracle of the Loaves and the Fishes." A rice cake runs away from the Chang family on New Year's Eve and is unstoppable until it bumps into a hungry old woman. The goodhearted but poor Changs offer her the rice cake, and predictably their kindness is rewarded. The lively illustrations and a note about the holiday add authentic details. A recipe is included.
