Come celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and listen to a bilingual story in Mandarin and English!
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival widely celebrated in East Asia. According to the lunar calendar, the day of the festival usually falls in September and October. Different countries and regions may have their specific ways of celebrating, but what is in common is that people appreciate the moon, reunite the family, and enjoy food and seasonal fruits. We'll be reading Thanking the Moon: Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival by Grace Lin and then creating our own rabbit craft!
