Dragon Boat Festival Wishes: Duanwu (Double Fifth) & Zongzi Chinese Festival Celebration (Fun Festivals)

I ordered every single available book off of Amazon for teaching my kids about the Dragon Boat Festival. This is one of my favorites. It is clearly Illustrated with cute pictures and very informative. The first part of the book is a story about a family celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival. The second part of the book talks about the history behind the festival. The way that they treat the poet's suicide is very kid-friendly. The third part of the book shows modern-day pictures of people celebrating the festival. The book is written in both English and simplified Chinese. I wish I could get this book in hardback, this is one to keep!

I bought this for my next-door neighbor - he is 4 years old. This is a book I can read to him in English and his grandparents can read to him as well, in Chinese. The Dragon Boat Festival is a culturally significant holiday, this explains the traditions and story with great illustrations and is appropriate for all ages.

This is perfect for prek to 1st grade. It covers the topic simply enough. It also has some great questions at the end to facilitate discussion.
