This poignant, vibrantly illustrated tale, which won the prestigious Feng Zikai Chinese Children’s Picture Book Award in 2009, is sure to resonate with every child who misses relatives when they are away — and shows how a family’s love is strong enough to endure over time and distance.
毛毛的爸爸是一个建筑师,他每年只能回家一次。除夕夜,爸爸把一枚寄托着好运的硬币包进了元宵。第二天,毛毛吃到了这枚好运硬币,她开心地把它藏在口袋里。爸爸在家的日子总是忙忙碌碌的,修桌椅、刷门漆、补屋顶……毛毛还骑在爸爸的肩膀上看到了舞龙灯!突然,毛毛发现口袋里的好运硬币不见了……
这是一枚承载着爱的好运硬币。短短的相聚、沉沉的离别,父亲把一个长长的守望留在了女儿心里!
