Now in a Chinese edition comes the story of a young Chinese American boy who discovers that no gift is too small when it comes from the heart. On Chinese New Year’s day, Sam receives the traditional gift of lucky money from his grandparents. He can hardly wait to go shopping with his mom, but excitement turns to disappointment when Sam goes to Chinatown only to realize he still can’t afford what he wants. His mother reminds him that he should appreciate the gift, but it takes a chance encounter with a stranger to bring the lesson home in this vividly illustrated book. "The artists’ vibrant watercolors embellish this story, which reaches across ethnic boundaries to reaffirm a universal truth." — American Booksellers Association Children’s Pick of the Lists
