Henry's First-Moon Birthday

40 pp. | Atheneum | April, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-689-82294-4 $$16.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Yumi Heo. Jen and her GninGnin (paternal grandmother) prepare for baby Henry's first-moon (one-month) birthday--cooking food, writing Chinese calligraphy for decorations, and coloring eggs for good luck. Folding in details about language, food, and traditions, the story deftly blends Chinese culture with universal family experiences. Stylized illustrations in mixed media feature a bubbly protagonist.
