And then—it’s time to smash the lanterns!
In this cheerful book first published in China, readers are invited along with Zhao Di and her friends as they experience all the joy and excitement of this folk Chinese custom. Details about the paper lantern tradition are also included in an author’s note at the end of the book.

打燈籠 作者：王亞鴿 繪者：朱成梁 精裝，42頁，4歲+ 連環畫出版社，2017年1月 已授權：英語、韓語、法語、葡萄牙語 可授權：繁體中文
在年味開始變淡的正月初五，招娣終於盼望來了舅舅送來的燈籠，村巷裡夜色如海，燈光點點，小夥伴們舉著各自的燈籠互相鬥豔：“你的是牛糞燈，好好看。”“你的是蓮花燈，我的是火罐燈。”……轉眼到了正月十五，年也要過完了，這是最後一晚打燈籠了……
打燈籠是陝西省武功縣地區中月十五的一種風俗習慣，作者借小女孩招娣從期盼挑燈籠，到點亮、燃燒、熄滅，再到重新心懷期待的溫暖描寫，表達了對傳統漸漸丟失的一種不捨，淡淡的離別鄉愁以及在懷抱希望中慢慢長大。這本書的畫家，是博洛尼亞童書展插畫獎得主朱成梁老師，畫中有雪、有村莊、有燈籠、有孩子，童趣在畫面中流動，年味在燈籠中閃動。是送給孩子最好的中國式新年祝福！
