From the Author:
Hannah Eliot is a children’s book editor who lives in Manhattan, New York. Her favorite activities include editing (of course), writing, painting, and doodling all over every piece of notebook paper she uses.
Alina Chau grew up in Hong Kong, where she discovered that drawing and painting were the best way to keep her out of mischief. Art is what eventually led her to the United States, where she received an MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles. After over a decade working in the animation industry, she decided to focus on illustration and writing stories full time. Her whimsical art style is highly sought after for art exhibits worldwide. Alina currently resides in Los Angeles with her mischievous puppy, Piglet.

PreS-Gr 1—A lively family of five and their relatives are the centerpiece of this new entry in the series. In this standout introduction to Lunar New Year, the holiday's origins and the concept of the Chinese zodiac are explained. Then, it's time for the family to cook, clean, and decorate in preparation for the festivities. Important traditions and symbols of the festival are presented, along with key themes of the holiday, such as luck and prosperity. The information is supplemented by Chau's vibrant organic illustrations that brim with life. They deftly blend the look of traditional Chinese painting on pages showing ancient myths with more contemporary illustrations depicting modern New Year celebrations. The text is longer and more involved than is typically found in board book selections. VERDICT The bright, playful illustrations and descriptive text make Lunar New Year an outstanding introduction to the holiday for children.—Katherine Barr, Cameron Village Regional Library, Raleigh, NC
