"Good luck is coming Yeye's way!" Mia loves spending time at her grandfather's store. When she finds out that the store is on the brink of closure, she embarks on a mission to bring Yeye as much luck as she can. With Lunar New Year approaching, Mia knows that lion dancing brings good luck, and the one who wears the head gets to control the luck. But when the lion head is too heavy for Mia to carry, how will she turn her family's luck around? Imaginative and detailed, Strong as a Lion immerses readers into Mia's story, reminding them that although they may not feel strong enough, they possess the strength to impact their communities. Backmatter includes an author's note about lion dancing, as well as instructions on how to create your very own lion head.
