11 children from around the world (including Jack in London) and from different faiths introduce the reader to how they mark Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year. Look out for lai sees full of lucky money, long noodles for long life, Kue Keranjang (cake) pyramids! Plus, there are fireworks and smoke-breathing dragons everywhere! Each double page spread includes fact boxes with extra small chunks of information about this important celebration. There’s even a Chinese Zodiac where children can discover which animal they are from their birth year. The package is completed with inner cover pages which glow with lanterns. East Asian author and Taiwanese illustrator. Age 4-8, Paperback 24pp
