Inhaltsangabe

Some stories are more than tales—they come alive. Mindy is about to explore the wonders and reveal the surprises hidden behind the cherished tradition of Chinese festivals. What exciting things will she discover?

As lanterns flicker, Mindy senses something magical stirring during her family’s celebrations. Laughter echoes in the dumplings, the shimmer of coins in the red packet, and the bloom of roses... Could these hold the enchanting stories of celestial beings and ancient legends?

At every festival, Mindy spots something different—an odd custom or a curious object. When she asks questions like: Why is everything so red? Why don’t the cat and rat get along? Why does the moon look like a cookie? And why is there a fairy on a cloud? Her mum doesn’t just explain—she tells the stories behind them, bringing the festivals to life. That’s when the magic begins.

This delightful children’s book features ten traditional Chinese folktales, blending centuries-old myths and fables into magical adventures with a modern twist. From the fearsome Nian monster to the midnight mischief of Demon Sui, and the bittersweet tale of the Moon Goddess Chang’e, these stories unveil the rich history, colourful customs, and timeless values. Through the fun and surprises of Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival, the Moon Festival, and more, Mindy and her family experience what makes each celebration so meaningful. She learns how Goddess Nuwa saved the world with her compassion, why the Jade Rabbit lives on the moon, the Weaver Fairy and Cowherd’s love that crosses the stars, and how a cunning animal won the Zodiac Great Race.

Perfect for children aged 6–12, and ideal for bedtime or family storytime. Children will connect with Mindy and her family while uncovering Asian myths and discovering valuable lessons about kindness, love, courage, and the importance of family. Because sometimes, the most treasured collections aren’t found on a shelf—they’re the stories passed down, just before the lights go out.
