Description

This warm, beautiful picture book follows Lilly and her grandfather as they establish a new autumnal tradition with an old family recipe.

This year, Lao Ye wants to throw a big neighborhood Halloween party and Lilly's excited to help, but she's a little worried about Lao Ye's family recipes. What if the neighbors don't like their special foods?

Told with engaging prose and brought to life with vibrant art, The Great Pumpkin Pancake Party is a joyful ode to family, food, and the power of community.

A recipe for Lao Ye’s pumpkin pancakes is included!
