Reviews
"The inviting nocturnal landscapes are vivid with interesting details, and readers will long to join in this peaceful celebration."--School Library Journal

"A beautiful, welcome choice for multicultural studies, this also adds diversity to autumnal thanksgiving themes."--Booklist

"A gentle text and Lin's rounded art style with her signature night-sky swirls lend themselves nicely to the moon symbolism that is so very important to this celebration. An endnote further describes the festival, emphasizing families coming together, just like the moon returning to its fullness."--Kirkus Reviews
