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.
The books in this collection are available in the Fletcher Library. Special thanks to Mr. Ricci for the use of the books, PTSA's Birthday Book Club donors and the talented parent and teacher volunteers who lent their voices to the Storytime Project!
