Summary: This informational book follows one family in San Francisco as they prepare to celebrate the Chinese New Year. It has wonderful photographs and explanations of the many elements and symbols of this two-week long celebration.
Response: The book was written 10 years ago, but the information and treatment seem very authentic and respectful (of course, I say that as someone who knows almost nothing about the holiday, so I can only go by my understanding of portrayals in children's writing)....more

A great way to introduce kids to Chinese culture and the traditions of Chinese New Year. The book follows a boy named Ryan and his family as they get ready for Chinese New Year in their home city of San Francisco. Though the text is aimed at an elementary school-level audience, it is certainly a good resource for preschool age children, with modifications.
