Chuseok A good harvest festival

Toddler-PreS--Young readers follow a sister and brother on the day of Chuseok, a Korean autumnal festival. In vibrant illustrations with an appearance akin to pastel drawings, they enjoy traditional foods such as jeon, wear beautiful hanbok, and help their parents make offerings to their ancestors. Habib makes the entire celebration look appealing for young eyes, with simple but deliciously depicted food and cheerful characters earnestly participating in activities with their loved ones. Librarians and readers alike should note that this book is intended for an audience already familiar with the holiday, as there are no definitions for the Korean terms used or explanations about the traditions depicted. VERDICT An affirming, sweet board book for families who celebrate Chuseok.--Alexandra Quay
