Write a wish, look toward the stars, and discover Japan's magical festival of bamboo, paper, and hope!

Why do children write their dreams on colorful strips of paper and hang them from bamboo branches? What connects two brilliant stars, a celestial river, and enormous paper streamers? Why Do We Celebrate Tanabata? introduces young readers to the history, legend, and joyful traditions of Japan's beloved Star Festival.

Celebrated across much of Japan on July 7, and in some communities during August, Tanabata tells the story of Orihime, a talented weaver, and Hikoboshi, a cattle herder. Separated by the Milky Way, they are allowed to meet only once each year-on the seventh night of the seventh month.
