Comfort food

Grace Lin
Thanking the Moon: Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival
Knopf, 2010

Grace Lin is now my go-to author for comfort food, especially those seasonal yummies that say holiday. Thanking the Moon follows her sisters and parents to a park where together they set up an altar with delicious offerings to the harvest moon, which appears sometime in September or October according to the lunar calendar. Lin's cheerful colors and easy patterns, as always, invite the reader to share in the community celebration.
