"Themes of love and family underlie the snappy text." --Kirkus
It's almost Lunar New Year, and Chloe can't wait to celebrate! But
first, Chloe and her family must prepare for the new year. They buy new
shoes, lay out good-luck oranges in a bowl, decorate the red envelope,
and make a crispy turnip cake. Everyone comes together to cook a
fantastic feast, saving a plate for A-má, of course. Chloe enjoys the
festive celebration and yummy food, but most of all, she loves spending
time with her family.
Lily LaMotte and Michelle Lee have created a tender, warm, and uplifting
holiday story about tradition and the importance of being with those you
love.
The backmatter contains educational facts about the Lunar New Year
celebration in Taiwan and a fun recipe for a yummy fortune cake!
