Lin Yi's Lantern by Brenda Williams

Lin Yi's Lantern by Brenda Williams

Lin Yis mother has sent him to the local market to buy food for the Moon Festival, but what he really wants is a red rabbit lantern. Will he barter well enough to be able to buy one? Benjamin Lacombes vivid illustrations are the perfect complement to Brenda Williams gentle story.

"Gouache illustrations in mostly red, blue, and purple tones are highlighted with numerous origami paper designsBack matter has notes about the traditional legend of the moon fairy, instructions for making a Chinese lantern, and a discussion of market life in China. This book sheds light on a unique cultural tradition" — School Library Journal
"In shades of mauve, the double-page spread of an obedient but forlorn Lin Yi pedaling home is especially affecting... The length of the narrative and accompanying cultural information make this an excellent supplement for primary multicultural units" —Booklist
