Learn about the Mid-Autumn Festival – a time of family togetherness, thankfulness, and well wishes.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a bilingual English and Mandarin Chinese book that introduces the various traditions that take place during this important holiday – including celebrating the end of the harvest, eating mooncakes, enjoying a family reunion dinner, and lighting beautiful lanterns. Children will learn everyday vocabulary that is relevant to the holiday, and an included map of Mid-Autumn Festivals around the world teaches young readers cultural awareness.

The eye-catching and unique artwork – made from adorable paper cut-outs – encourages reading and makes it fun to learn new vocabulary.

Meet Lulu Cheng, a wife, mom of 2 bitty babes, with her newest title - Bitty Bao Boss. Since her bitty babes were born, Lulu has worked hard to embed Chinese language and culture into everything that they do. Lulu's struggle to find cute bilingual Chinese books for her kids' bedtime soon evolved into a #bigbittydream to make Chinese board books of her own for families just like hers. She looks forward to sharing her journey of parenting, homemade Chinese teaching resources, and some late night bookmaking with you. She currently resides in Los Angeles, CA with her husband and two children where she enjoys planning family trips, taxiing her kids to their extracurriculars, and finding the best ice cream spots around town. A firewife, mom of two wee bitty babes, and the other half of the dynamic Bitty Bao Duo - meet Lacey Bernard. As an American-Born-Chinese woman, raised without the gift of Chinese as a second language, Lacey is hoping to now prioritize language acquisition for her children through bilingual books, cultural events, and their school district's Mandarin dual immersion program. Lacey can often be found in the middle of the night hand cutting tiny bits of paper into cute images for the Bitty Bao books and hopes that you enjoy seeing them come to life in the books as much as she does. She currently resides in Dana Point, CA with her husband and two children where she enjoys catching all of her children’s small moments, exploring new places, and eating yummy food.
