Miri will miss the Chinese lions in front of her apartment building that was always taken care of her. What will happen to her now that it’s moving day? Fortunately, Zayde, her Jewish grandfather, and Yeh Yeh, her Chinese grandfather, have some surprises to help her feel at home in her new apartment. “There are no stone lions to guard your new apartment building, but you can hang this mezuzah at your door,” says Yeh Yeh, presenting her with a beautiful mezuzah. Zayde also has a gift for Miri, two small stone lions to remind her of the Chinese lions she left behind.
