From the Publisher
This exuberant story follows a Chinese American family as they
prepare for the Lunar New Year. Each member of the family lends a
hand as they sweep out the dust of the old year, hang decorations,
and make dumplings. Then it's time to put on new clothes and
celebrate with family and friends. There will be fireworks and lion
dancers, shining lanterns, and a great, long dragon parade to help
bring in the Lunar New Year. And the dragon parade in our book is
extra long-on a surprise fold-out page at the end of the story.
Grace Lin's artwork is a bright and gloriously patterned
celebration in itself! And her story is tailor-made for reading
aloud.
