Description

"It's almost Lunar New Year, and Chloe can't wait to celebrate! But first, Chloe and her family must prepare for the new year. They buy new shoes, lay out good-luck oranges in a bowl, decorate the red envelope, and make a crispy turnip cake. Everyone comes together to cook a fantastic feast, saving a plate for A-má, of course. Chloe enjoys the festive celebration and yummy food, but most of all, she loves spending time with her family"--

A cute book, with an endearing story, but a sad ending.
½
Chloe and her family prepare for their Lunar New Year celebration: cooking, cleaning, giving away old things and getting new ones, welcoming extended family, and sharing food. Endpapers are illustrations of family photos. A-mà is included in the story on an altar.
