Description:
This poignant story of friendship and community reminds us that celebrating our differences can bring us together.
When every face is a stranger and there's no one to play with, Chih-Ming has to wonder whether his new neighborhood will ever feel like home. But once the family next door invites Chih-Ming to celebrate the fourth of July, they kick off a chain of cultural exchanges that the whole community gets involved in. Through Mid-Autumn Festival and Halloween, snowball fights and tsuah-ping parties, this story highlights how your newest friend might be just one invitation away.
