How do you enjoy the things that please you? Do you prefer to experience them on your own, or share them with others? Fireworks explores these questions in the story of Fox and Badger, who are trying to figure out how they should enjoy the last of the fireworks they bought. Fox wants to set it off in company with all the other animals, but Badger says, “No! This firework is ours. We can’t let anyone else see it.” So he drags Fox on a day-long journey to find the most secret place he can. But when their firework lights up the night sky, its splendor can be seen for miles…
Joy explodes like a chrysanthemum at evening, as Teng Cheng-Chi narrates this tale with her gentle, and thought-provoking humor.
