Synopsis

Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with a luminous read-aloud about the joys of family, sharing stories, and keeping tradition alive across generations.

“See that, Mama? See the rabbit?” I say, spotting the shadows on the moon’s face.
“Yes, my precious. It’s Chang’e the Moon Goddess coming out to play. Some people say she’s the rabbit in the moon.”

Families and neighbors gather to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together. Soon Meifung and her family will join them, holding paper lanterns and moving like a gleeful parade of fireflies. But first, Meifung asks her mother to tell her, once more, the story behind the Mid-Autumn Festival—the story of Chang’e and the moon rabbit. It is a tale of nine scorching suns, a brave archer, an ancient queen, an elixir of life, and a doomed love. The beautifully told legend of Chang’e and the moon rabbit is perfectly paired with art steeped in tradition and layered symbolism to make an ultimate gift book for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
