Wei has always loved lion dancing. But after his father’s death, Wei quits his team and gives up on his dream. Years later, Wei gets a second chance at lion dancing. Will he be able to push through all of the obstacles to do what he loves?
A nice story about what it means to be part of a team. An entertaining read with a lot of great information about lion dancing. Each chapter opens with a different movement in lion dancing. I love how the information was nicely worked into the story.
Great messages about following your passions, teamwork, sportsmanship, and the importance of all members on a team. Also, briefly touches on loss of parents and grief, though these aspects do not feel fully developed within the events of the book.
Bright, high-action illustrations. As someone who doesn’t know much about lion dancing, sometimes I wished the movements weren’t shown in such extreme close up so that I could see the overall presentation, but they did a great job showing the intensity and hard work that does into lion dancing.
A fun way to learn more about lion dancing. A nice read. Some aspects felt underdeveloped but it was engaging overall.
