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. It pairs a simple text with cute illustrations, and follows a pattern I have noticed in books about this festival, including both some folkloric content and a story about a contemporary family's celebrations. Although I don't know that it is a favorite, when it comes to Mid-Autumn Moon Festival books - I prefer titles like Loretta Seto's Mooncakes or Arlene Chan's The Moon Festival: A Chinese Mid-Autumn Celebration - this is one I'd still recommend, in the absence of other titles, to picture-book readers looking for stories about this subject.
