Weiwei's Winter Solstice: A Dong Zhi Story (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781547614844)

This captivating picture book introduces the customs and traditions of an important Chinese holiday in a story that bursts with color and light to warm even the darkest days of winter.

It's Dongzh?, the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. Weiwei's family has moved to a new place, where instead of hummingbirds, palm trees, and chrysanthemum bushes, all she sees is a blanket of snow. This frozen place feels nothing like home.

But Dongzh? is all about finding warmth through togetherness, even in the depths of winter. With her family by her side, maybe Weiwei can do more than just endure the cold.

Like the chickadees that sing and the m?ihua that bloom, can she open her heart and embrace the season?

Informational back matter provides further context about the holiday and its history, along with a recipe for tang yuan, a traditional Dongzh? treat.
