這個熱鬧的故事講述了一個美籍華人家庭準備迎接農曆新年的故事。每個家庭成員都伸出援手，掃去舊年的灰塵，掛上裝飾品，包餃子。然後是時候穿上新衣服與家人和朋友一起慶祝了。還將有煙火表演、舞獅表演、閃亮的燈籠以及盛大的龍遊行來迎接農曆新年。我們書中的龍遊行特別長——在故事結尾的驚喜摺頁上。
This exuberant story follows a Chinese American family as they prepare for the Lunar New Year. Each member of the family lends a hand as they sweep out the dust of the old year, hang decorations, and make dumplings. Then it’s time to put on new clothes and celebrate with family and friends. There will be fireworks and lion dancers, shining lanterns, and a great, long dragon parade to help bring in the Lunar New Year. And the dragon parade in our book is extra long–on a surprise fold-out page at the end of the story. Grace Lin’s artwork is a bright and gloriously patterned celebration in itself! And her story is tailor-made for reading aloud.
