A New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book of 2011! Maomao’s father works far away and comes home only at Chinese New Year. When Papa arrives, Maomao hardly recognizes him at first. But before long, the family is making sticky rice balls, hearing the firecrackers, and watching the dragon dance in the street. Maomao loves doing ordinary things with Papa – getting a haircut, fixing things around the house, and sleeping tucked between her parents. But all too soon it is time for Papa to go away again. This poignant, vibrantly illustrated tale, which won the prestigious Feng Zikai Chinese Children’s Picture Book Award in 2009, is sure to resonate with every child who misses relatives when they are away–and shows how a family’s love is strong enough to endure over time and distance.
