Danbi's favorite day is here!

Thrilled to invite her friends to celebrate Children's Day as she did in Korea, she promises kites, tigers, and magic train rides. But when the reality of a picnic behind her parents' deli falls short of her grand plans, Danbi must get creative to save the day.

In this delightful follow-up to Danbi Leads the School Parade, Anna Kim brings her stunning illustrations and lively text to celebrate the children of the world, the power of creativity, and the joy of coming together.
Anna Kim grew up in South Korea, where families gather on Children's Day to honor children as the leaders of tomorrow. When her family moved to America, they owned a small corner deli with the most diverse menu in the neighborhood, and Anna set out to help children fulfill the promise of Children's Day. Anna is the author of Danbi Leads the School Parade, which won an Asian Pacific American Honor Award for literature, and lives in New York City. Please visit @ArtByAnnaKim and @DanbiAndFriends.
