(Author)
Description
The family from Dim Sum for Everyone! is back for a new outing- building and flying their own kite! The wind is blowing. It is a good day for kites! The whole family makes a trip to the local craft store for paper, glue, and paint. Everyone has a job: Ma-Ma joins sticks together. Ba-Ba glues paper. Mei-Mei cuts whiskers while Jie-Jie paints a laughing mouth. Dragon eyes are added and then everyone attaches the final touch . . . a noisemaker! Now their dragon kite is ready to fly. Kite Flying celebrates the Chinese tradition of kite making and kite flying and lovingly depicts a family bonded by this ancient and modern pleasure.

Reviews
"A delightful read-aloud."-Kirkus Reviews, Starred "Lin's paintings are graphically striking . . . a delight of patterning."-Booklist, Starred "Lin's signature swirls in the sky along with blowing hair, clothing and kite ribbons suggest the ideal blustery day."--School Library Journal, Starred
