Chinese New Year is the most important holiday for Alex and her family, so it's even more special when she gets to share her favorite traditions with her best friend, Ethan. Together, they join the Chinese New Year parade and get to help make the dragon dance. Then they prepare for the festivities by tidying up, decorating, and making dumplings. After that, it's time to open red envelopes, eat a great big feast, and enjoy the lantern fesival! Complete with fun facts about the holiday in the back of the book, young readers will want to revisit this story again and again.

Exciting, easy-to-read books are the stepping stone a young reader needs to bridge the gap between being a beginner and being fluent.

Sofia H. ★★★★★

The lively illustrations kept my preschooler engaged while I explained the family traditions, and the simple text was perfect for her to try reading a few words herself. We’ve already read it twice tonight.

Lily ★★★★★

My kid is just starting to read on her own, and the simple text on each page made her feel like a superstar while we followed the friendship story. The lively illustrations kept her engaged enough to ask for it again right after we finished.

Eva F. ★★★★★

The illustrations are so lively that my daughter kept pointing out new details on every page, and the simple text made it easy for her to follow along with the story. It’s a lovely way to introduce the holiday to little ones.
