Welcoming the Lunar New Year: Festivals of the World

By Lara Lee

Get ready to celebrate Lunar New Year with Ren and his family.

Ren and his family are preparing for the joyous New Year celebrations--cooking a feast and getting their home spick and span. When Ren accidentally ruins the dragon costume his mother was going to wear in the New Year parade, he turns to his neighbors for help. As they lend their assistance, Ren also learns about Lunar New Year traditions from around the world. Soon they are all celebrating and feasting together in this community-centered story from chef and food writer Lara Lee and richly illustrated by Natelle Quek.
