review 1: Maomao’s father is a working very hard at a faraway job and he only come home once a year, on Chinese New Year. At first, she does not recognize who her father is, but after some time thing begin to return to normal. The family comes together to participate in all the Chinese New Year traditions like making sticky rice and setting off fireworks. Each year they have the tradition of hiding a coin in one of the balls of sticky rice and whoever finds has good luck. Maomao finds and decides to give it to her father for the journey back to work. This book can be used to show children that even if family members are far away there is always a connection when they come back. In addition, it brings in many multicultural ideas and customs. I think it would be a good book where s... moretudents can get the best of both worlds.
