A young girl at a Hong Kong market is really looking forward to the deliciously sweet mooncake pastry with a double-yolk center. Yum! But then an exhausted stranger enters the scene. No one seems to want to help. The girl must make a decision, a decision that will change her and those around her. This mostly true story written by Pearl Au Yeung is a gem and the illustrations are just as delicious as mooncake! This accompanying educator guide assists young people in exploring oral histories and the writing process, the theme of kindness, the history and celebration of food and cultures, and it dives into how authors use setting to transport their readers to a place they’ve never been before.
