Preview: Hear it

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 its 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 longon a surprise foldout page at the end of the story. Grace Lins artwork is a bright and gloriously patterned celebration in itself! And her story is tailormade for reading aloud.
