A festival treat becomes a lesson in probability

As Luna and her cousin Mina prepare sticky-rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival, a golden egg yolk hidden in some dumplings turns the family’s meal into a question of chance. The story connects an everyday activity—making and choosing food—with an early math concept, while its Chinese American characters and accompanying cultural note introduce the festival context. Part of the Storytelling Math series, the book also includes hands-on activities for exploring everyday math with children and grown-ups.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Preschoolers and kindergarteners beginning to explore probability
  • Families and educators looking for story-based activities about everyday math
  • Young readers interested in Chinese American characters and the Dragon Boat Festival
