Jenny's baby brother Henry is having his one-month birthday -- his
first-moon, as it's called in Chinese. And even though Jenny's sure he
doesn't deserve it -- all Henry does is sleep, eat, and cry -- there's a
big celebration planned for him. Together, Jenny and her grandma get
everything ready, from dyeing eggs a lucky red to preparing pigs' feet
and ginger soup. And someday, when Henry's old enough to appreciate all
her hard work, Jenny will tell him how lucky he was to have her in
charge.
The childlike charm of Lenore Look's story is perfectly captured in Yumi
Heo's naïve illustrations, which give readers the impression that Jenny
drew them herself.
