Strong as a Lion
by Karla Sywith Felishia Henditirto (Illustrator)
Heartwarming book about a little girl who is determined to help her Yeye (grandfather) by bringing him luck. She shows compassion for her grandfather. She demonstrates determination, resourcefulness, creativity, and a sweet spirit by including her younger brother.
The illustrations are beautiful. The story was engaging and fun. Fun to read out loud or for kids to read on their own.
There is a craft and explanation of Lion Dance symbolism in the back which is really neat.
Description
Mia's mission to bring good luck to her Yeye's store makes a great read-aloud for Lunar New Year.
"Good luck is coming Yeye's way!"
Mia loves spending time at her grandfather's store. When she finds out that the store is on the brink of closure, she embarks on a mission to bring Yeye as much luck as she can. With Lunar New Year approaching, Mia knows that lion dancing brings good luck, and the one who wears the head gets to control the luck. But when the lion head is too heavy for Mia to carry, how will she turn her family's luck around?
Imaginative and detailed, Strong as a Lion immerses readers into Mia's story, reminding them that although they may not feel strong enough, they possess the strength to impact their communities. Backmatter includes an author's note about lion dancing, as well as instructions on how to create your very own lion head.
