(3) K-3 Illustrated by Renné Benoit. A family celebrates the Chinese Moon Festival by sharing mooncakes, tea, and stories as they sit together, looking at the moon. Mama and Baba tell their daughter tales about the moon's inhabitants: a woman who gains eternal life, a lazy woodcutter, and Jade Rabbit. Warm, glowing watercolors match the story's contemplative and contented mood. An author's note provides background on the harvest holiday.
