Praise for A Big Mooncake for Little Star:A Boston Globe Best Book of 2018
โ Publishers Weekly * This folkloric pourquoi tale effectively blends peaceful bedtime rhymes with the lure of irresistible snacking temptationโBCCB, starred review "...wonderful as a bedtime book all year long."โThe New York Times * The relationship between Little Star and her mother offers a message of empowerment and reassurance. Lin's loving homage to the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival is sure to become a bedtime favorite.โSchool Library Journal, starred review "Lin's vibrant gouache paintings are a stellar fit for this story...this is a gentle, beautiful book for all."โBookPage "In this bedtime read that sounds like a lullaby, a child longs to eat a mooncake she baked with her mom. Each night she secretly takes a bite, bringing about a new phase of the moon."โParents Magazine "A charming, childlike quality infuses the artwork; boldly hued gouache pictures feature skies and lawns as patterned as the girl's kitchen wallpaper and curtains."โPublishers Weekly
