Overview
Bo and Jin have waited all year for the festival feast—tables filled with traditional Chinese foods like char siu and dragon beard candy. But when their journey takes unexpected turns, the two hungry ghosts begin to worry they won’t arrive in time. As obstacles arise and frustration builds, they must learn to stay patient, support one another, and keep moving forward.
Rooted in cultural authenticity, Hungry Little Ghosts weaves in traditional festival elements such as water lanterns and joss paper offerings, alongside historical clothing inspired by different Chinese eras. The manuscript was refined through a bilingual English-Chinese editorial process to help ensure cultural and linguistic authenticity. With humor and heart, the story explores perseverance, patience, and friendship. Perfect for children ages 4–8.
