About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to nurture a child's natural empathy or discuss the profound impact of a simple act of kindness. This story provides a gentle window into understanding that everyone carries a different story, and sometimes the greatest gift we can give is something we truly cherish ourselves. Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s Hong Kong market, the narrative follows a young girl who works at her family's stall. When a hungry, exhausted stranger appears, she chooses to give him her precious mooncake. The story explores themes of selflessness and the cyclical nature of compassion, making it an excellent choice for elementary-aged children who are beginning to notice social inequalities or who are curious about cultural traditions beyond their own.
