An enchanting family story about a shopkeeper and his preparations for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Colorful lanterns are an important part of the celebrations, as are the mooncakes that Mr. Ming sells in his shop. Everyone agrees that Mr. Ming’s mooncakes are the most delicious they have ever tasted. They all want to know what the secret recipe is, but Mr. Ming won’t tell them or even let them peep inside his kitchen. This is because he has another secret, a secret even bigger than his marvelous mooncake recipe. What can it be?

A charming, playful story about the beauty of the Mid-Autumn Festival, based on the 3,000-year-old Chinese legend of the lady in the moon.

Based on Mr. Ming and the Mooncake Dragon, written by Kathy Creamer, illustrated by Amy Calautti, and published by Little Pink Dog Books. Sound design by Gio Sancho.
