Amy Wu eagerly awaits the Lantern Festival, her favorite part of the Lunar New Year. But disaster strikes when she accidentally crushes her family's cherished lantern, a symbol of her father's memories. Faced with the possibility of losing a beloved tradition, Amy must find a way to mend the past with the present. Will she discover a new way to celebrate, or is the tradition lost forever? Join Amy on a heartfelt journey of creativity and family bonds, where a new tradition might just light the way.

From the publisher

Amy Wu celebrates Chinese New Year with her favorite family traditions in this sweet and brightly illustrated fifth installment in the Amy Wu picture book series. Lunar New Year is Amy’s favorite holiday! Her family celebrates for two whole weeks, and she loves everything about it–the food, the decorations, and, most of all, the traditions! Amy’s favorite tradition is carrying her family’s lantern on Lantern Festival Day. Their lantern is special because every time Amy’s dad lights it, he’s reminded of his mother. But when Amy accidentally crushes their family lantern, is her favorite tradition ruined for good?
