Emma was adopted from China, and every year she eagerly awaits the celebration of the Chinese New Year. She and her family observe the special holiday by participating in traditional customs and activities that honor Emma's Chinese heritage-all with an American twist. It's time to decorate the house, bake moon cakes, make Chinese lanterns, and ring in the Lunar New Year with friends and family. Join Emma in her very own American Chinese New Year!
I love Emma's American Chinese New Year. This colorful, delightfully illustrated book just begs to be read aloud. It celebraties diversity and adoption. I learned a few things about the Chinese New Year with my kids which makes this book beyond awesome. This book is for kids 3 (aff) – 8. Both of my kids (5 and 8) enjoyed it, and they loved learning about the Chinese New Year.
I can only recommend this great children's book.
