\"\"<\/p>\n

Get ready for Lunar New Year, following a young girl and her family as they get ready for and celebrate the Lunar New Year festival.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A stunning book with so much visual information, set around a young Chinese girl called Yue. Perfect for children around the world to celebrate and understand the beauty and joy of the Chinese New Year.<\/p>\n

With non-fiction information about the significance of certain rituals, but told through the excited eyes of a child, this is a book to return to year after year in the run up to the\u00a0biggest festival in the Chinese calendar.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The author\/illustrator \u00a0Vikki Zhang \u00a0<\/a>has amazing creative talents and her children's books are a part of a wider interest in design.<\/p>\n

Each of the 12 double pages features 12 lift flaps, that's 144 in total!
\nSuch as...<\/strong>
\n- Yue decorates the house with lucky red decorations
\n- Tidying the house to welcome in the new year
\n- Watching a special firework display
\n- Discovering which animal year it will be
\n- Making festive dumplings with Nainai (grandma)
\n- Reading a story about the zodiac with Yeye (grandpa)
\n- Watching a lion and dragon dance in the town square
\n- Making offerings to her ancestors
\n- And on the very last spread, a traditional family reunion new year on the eve of Lunar new year and exchange lucky red envelopes.<\/p>\n

This book is as special as the little red envelopes children in China receive with many gifts.<\/p>\n
