Although not the first picture-book I have read devoted to the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, Sanmu Tang's Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival is the first I have encountered that is from China itself. Originally published in Shanghai, it was translated into English by Mina Tenison, who also worked on some of Tang's other picture-books about various Chinese festivals.
