Description

Age Range: 4 to 8

Mei-Mei's Lucky Birthday Noodles tells the story of a very lucky girl named Mei-Mei!

Mei-Mei is Chinese, but her Mum and Dad are not. When she was a baby, her Mum and Dad flew all the way to the other side of the world to adopt her and bring her home. Lucky for Mei-Mei, her parents want her to know all about her roots in China's wonderful culture.

That's why on her birthday, her mum always makes her a traditional Chinese treat—long noodles, for a long and happy life. This year, Mei-Mei is big enough to help her mum make them!
