Chloe is excited to help her family prepare for Lunar New Year and for the big family party that night. 

I love that Lamotte shows us so much about the tradition sof Lunar New Year, without resorting to a dry, non-fiction tone.  I would love to read this with a young class and have them pick out the traditions as we read along, building their listening skills and then comparing what they found to what are considered parts of a traditional Lunar New Year celebration. Fun mini-lesson ready to go.

The characters are Asian.
