"You should sleep on the long flight," said Mama.
Daisy should have slept—
but she didn't.
She was too excited to see Yeh-Yeh!

Daisy is traveling to China, and she's excited to see her Yeh-Yeh again! She has big plans for all the fun they'll have together in preparation for Lunar New Year, like flying kites and making jiao zi. But when she arrives, she has trouble sleeping and is less jolly than she hoped while spending time with Yeh-Yeh. Throughout the week, Yeh-Yeh tries all sorts of things to help her have a fun holiday and get her past her grumpiness. Will he be able to make her smile before she goes home?

Kids will love this funny and heartwarming story about celebrating with family and connecting across generations.
