Product Details

Praise

“Hsu’s boldly colored, predominantly red-and-gold illustrations nicely capture the celebratory atmosphere of a Chinese restaurant in a vibrant, multicultural community, especially when the energetic lion dancers arrive and perform for the crowd. Jia’sexpressive body language and facial expressions clearly communicate her justified frustration at not being taken seriously by the adults in her life, and little kids who are tired of being told they’re too small will surely relate. Culturally specific details will be recognizable to families whoc elebrate the Chinese New Year, and Jia’s emotional journey will make this doubly useful for SEL collections. ”—Booklist


“Bright red sand yellows dominate Hsu’s warm and festive gouache and digital artwork, which features a diverse community of people. Celebratory and inspiring, especially for youngsters tired of being told they’re too young to contribute. —Kirkus


“Against the backdrop of Hsu’s gouache and digital art, which depicts myriad cultural details, Compestine uses easy, descriptive prose to detail a series of traditions while affirming the power of involving children at any age. —Publishers Weekly
