The First Lantern Festival – the legend of how the Lantern Festival began

My new book, The First Lantern Festival is now available in both paperback and eBook format. Go check it out and read a few pages for free!

To help a servant girl see her family again, the famous Dongfang Shuo convinced everyone that the gods were coming to burn down the city! Even the emperor believed him.

Come discover the legend of how the Lantern Festival began over 2,000 years ago. Along the way, you may learn a few Chinese words and meet some interesting historical figures.

The book is super cute. I’m proud to share it with you. It’s the perfect way to teach your kids about the Lantern Festival, and learn some Chinese and history at the same time.

I’ll keep working to make the enchanting world of Chinese history and mythology more available to everyone! To learn more about me as an author and illustrator, go to LSamZhang.com.
