​Praise for D is for Dragon Dance

​“Warm [and] charming…. The artwork … is cheerful and bright, rather stylistic, with appealing repetitive details that will draw kids right in…. [It gives] a sense of both community and ordinary life during a special time of year.”
— Booklist


“The repetition of the phrases… grasshoppers, ants, and worms make this an attention-grabbing read-aloud… encourages the reader to be inventive, yet practical, when solving a problem”
—CM Magazine
