Description
Celebrating Chinese New Year is perfect for families looking for an informative and fun book to introduce their little ones to the traditions of everyone's favourite holiday: Chinese New Year. Readers will also learn family names in two languages while highlighting Chinese culture!
“A fun bilingual book of family vocabulary with a holiday twist.”—School Library Journal
Chinese New Year is the most important holiday in Chinese culture. Celebrating Chinese New Year is a bilingual English and Mandarin Chinese book that introduces the various traditions that take place – from buying new clothes to special foods and decorations. Children will enjoy seeing different family members preparing for and celebrating the holiday together, and the included family tree is a great visual for teaching the names of different family members.
The eye-catching and unique artwork – made from adorable paper cut-outs – encourages reading and makes it fun to learn new vocabulary.

About the Author
Meet Lulu Cheng, a wife, mom of 2 bitty babes, with her newest title - Bitty Bao Boss. Since her bitty babes were born, Lulu has worked hard to embed Chinese language and culture into everything that they do. Lulu's struggle to find cute bilingual Chinese books for her kids' bedtime soon evolved into a #bigbittydream to make Chinese board books of her own for families just like hers. She looks forward to sharing her journey of parenting, homemade Chinese teaching resources, and some late night bookmaking with you.
A firewife, mom of a wee bitty babe, and the other half of the dynamic Bitty Bao Duo - meet Lacey Benard. As an American-Born-Chinese woman, raised without the gift of Chinese as a second language, Lacey is hoping to now prioritize language acquisition for her bitty babe through bilingual books, cultural events, and their school district's Mandarin dual immersion program. Lacey can often be found in the middle of the night hand cutting tiny bits of paper into cute images for the Bitty Bao books and hopes that you enjoy seeing them come to life in the books as much as she does.
