Written by Margaret McNamara and Wendi Gu. Illustrated by Mike Gordon

This beginning reader is a wonderful introduction story about how one family celebrates the Lunar New Year. Eigen’s mom comes to school to help him celebrate his favorite holiday with his class. She brings his favorite holiday treats and talks with the teacher and class about the holiday and what it means to Eigen’s family.

This simply written leveled book is great for younger readers who are interested in holidays and culture. I would strongly recommend this purchase.
