Lin Yi's Lantern by Brenda Williams

Meet Lin Yi — a little boy with a big heart and a talent for bargaining. He wants to buy himself a red rabbit lantern at the market for the moon festival tonight; but first, he must buy the things his mother needs. Will he be able to save enough money on his mother’s needs to buy the lantern? This heartwarming story shows the practical use of math in everyday life and the rewards of putting others first. Features educational notes at the end about the Chinese moon festival, life in rural China and the legend of the moon fairy.
"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
