A family lantern, a cherished tradition

Amy Wu’s family celebrates Lunar New Year over two weeks, with food, decorations, and traditions that lead to Lantern Festival Day. Carrying the family lantern is especially meaningful: when Amy’s father lights it, he remembers his mother. After Amy accidentally crushes the lantern, the story brings a treasured family object together with questions of tradition, memory, and what happens when a celebration doesn’t go as planned. This fifth picture book in the Amy Wu series centers Chinese New Year customs through one child’s connection to her family.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in family celebrations and traditions.
  • Young readers curious about Lunar New Year and Lantern Festival customs.
  • Families looking for a picture book featuring an Asian American family.

But when Amy accidentally crushes their family lantern, is her favorite tradition ruined for good?
