A young boy and his brother travel with their parents up the mountainside to their tea garden for a day of work. They delight in the animals they see, compete to see who can pick the most tea leaves, take a lunch break, and weather an unexpected rainstorm. At the end of the day, they trek back down the mountain to sell the leaves before going home. In this gorgeous picture book that awakens the senses, young kids experience a faraway cultural tradition while feeling the familiarity of family and togetherness.
