Description - Bringing In The New Year by Grace Lin
This is a simple, young, and yet satisfying story about how a modern Chinese-American family rings in the Lunar New Year. Most books about Chinese New Year are non-fiction, but this book tells a story and then adds a substantial author's note with more information at the end, which makes it a great book to read aloud.
This book is perfect for preschool and elementary units on the Lunar New Year, and will also have special appeal to Asian-American families and families who have adopted an Asian child.
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.
