Barefoot puts an emphasis on helping children explore other cultures especially with this beautifully illustrated, character education story.

Lin Yi’s Lantern
A Moon Festival Tale
Meet Lin Yi — a little boy with a big heart and a talent for bargaining. Tonight is the moon festival and he wants nothing more than a red rabbit lantern; but first he must buy the things his mother needs at the market. This heartwarming story shows the rewards of putting others first, and includes educational notes at the end about the Chinese moon festival, life in rural China, and the legend of the moon fairy.
