The the Dragon's Eyes (Hardcover)
by Megan Chew.
When Li-Ann discovers her grandmother's old kong ming lantern, she sees an opportunity to attend her best friend's sleepover instead of the family's Lunar New Year Eve reunion dinner. But restoring the lantern sets off an extraordinary adventure that sweeps her across the night sky to China, where she reconnects with relatives and discovers the true value of family traditions. A heartwarming tale that explores the journey of second-generation Canadian children as they navigate between two worlds and embrace their cultural heritage.
About the Author
Megan's art career began in her early school days in Singapore, where she was often caught doodling in her textbook during class. She went on to design costumes, paint backdrops, and sketch endlessly. After learning that one of her ancestors had been a lantern painter, Megan was intrigued and wrote and illustrated The Dragon's Eyes. Currently, she is a student at Pratt Institute of Design in New York City, where she continues to draw for her own enjoyment - and now for the enjoyment of others.
