Introduction:
The Dragon Boat Festival is one of China's great holidays, so when the little girl narrating the adventure goes with her parents to her grandparents' home in the country, readers get to enjoy the festival through her eyes. Mom and Dad bring presents from the city, including vacuum-packed zongzi, but Grampa says fresh ones are best! Together, the family picks leaves, assembles the zongzi, and cooks them over fire. The little girl tastes every kind. Better yet, Gramma makes her a special necklace and teaches her how to make them for her friends. Amid these pleasures, the child asks where Grampa is. He is the helmsman of a dragon boat and is getting ready to race! Later, as the family celebrates the victory of Grampa's team, we know the city-dwelling girl will want to return, not only for the festivities and the food, but also to spend another good time with her grandparents.
