Join a family as they embark on a creative adventure, crafting a vibrant dragon kite. Each member plays a vital role, from cutting whiskers to painting a laughing mouth. As they add the final noisemaker, the kite becomes a symbol of their bond and cultural heritage. Will their creation soar in the sky, capturing the spirit of tradition and togetherness?

From the publisher

The family from Dim Sum for Everyone! is back for a new outing- building and flying their own kite! The wind is blowing. It is a good day for kites! The whole family makes a trip to the local craft store for paper, glue, and paint. Everyone has a job: Ma-Ma joins sticks together. Ba-Ba glues paper. Mei-Mei cuts whiskers while Jie-Jie paints a laughing mouth. Dragon eyes are added and then everyone attaches the final touch . . . a noisemaker! Now their dragon kite is ready to fly. Kite Flying celebrates the Chinese tradition of kite making and kite flying and lovingly depicts a family bonded by this ancient and modern pleasure.
