Welcoming the Lunar New Year: Celebrate & Make would be a great addition to any family home to help to raise awareness and build experiences of different celebrations and cultures around the world. It would also be a brilliant book to have in any KS1 classroom in a school; it's incredibly informative whilst being presented in a child-friendly, narrative format. -- Lucy Hopkins * Reading Zone * Different foods and customs sit side by side, with a strong sense of community throughout. Wonderful, vibrant illustrations show the preparations and celebrationsmaking this a great introduction to Lunar New Year for 47-year-olds. Highly recommend. * School Reading List * The perfect way to welcome a year full of happiness! -- Pam Norfolk * Book-marked * Follow along with Ren and his family as they prepare, using traditions old and new, for their Lunar New Year celebrations.
