Surf Soup: Tomb Sweeping and the Qingming Festival takes readers on an enlightening journey through the rich cultural traditions of Qingming, or Tomb Sweeping Day. Little Donna, a curious and spirited young girl, eagerly prepares to join her family in honoring their ancestors. Nervous at first, she soon learns that this day isn't about fear but about love, respect, and remembrance. With her mother's gentle guidance, Donna helps tidy the gravestones, place fresh flowers, and light incense to connect with her family's past. Along the way, she discovers the strength and resilience of her great-grandparents and learns the importance of honoring her heritage. Set in the vibrant setting of Los Angeles' Chinese community, this beautifully illustrated story celebrates family, history, and tradition, inviting young readers and families to reflect on the deep connections that shape us. Surf Soup is perfect for readers ages 6-12, offering a warm introduction to cultural traditions and family values.
