On Chinese New Year's day, Sam receives the traditional gift of lucky money from his grandparents. He can hardly wait to go shopping with his more, but excitement turns to disappointment when Sam goes to Chinatown only to realize he still can't afford what he wants. His mother reminds him that he should appreciate the gift, but it takes a chance encounter with a stranger to bring the lesson home in this vividly illustrated book.
