Shocked that her parents are cooking Chinese food to sell in the family store on an all-American holiday, a feisty Chinese American girl tries to tell her mother and father how things really are. But as the parade passes by and fireworks light the sky, she learns a surprising lesson.

Join a group of toddlers at their preschool as they make new friends and together discover the joys of all the seasons.

In this nearly wordless picture book illustrated by Caldecott Honor medalist Margaret Chodos-Irvine, a group of nine toddlers at preschool make new friends and enjoy the pleasures and excitements of spring, summer, fall, and winter together--including the adventure of a scary-loud thunderstorm.

The long-awaited paperback edition of a Caldecott Honor book that celebrates a child's unique sense of fashion and independent streak.
