A picture book based on the author's own immigration story, the infinite impact of friendship, and passing on love and kindness around the world.
On a cold Chinese New Year's Eve in snowy Northeastern China, it's Dandan's last night with Yueyue. Tomorrow, she leaves China for America--forever. The two best friends have a favorite wintertime tradition: crafting fine cut paper snowflakes, and leaving them outside overnight to freeze and accumulate ice crystals. When it's time for Dandan to go, Yueyue presses red paper and a spool of thread into her hands. But in Dandan's new home, she has no one to share these gifts with--until a new friend comes along.
