This was a little wordy for the kids (6.5 and 3 years old) but they got through it and I think my older one got some interesting facts out of it.
Norman Ah Sing is a successful, newly-arrived Chinese grocer in the San Francisco of the 1850s. He is thrilled to be in the Land of the Golden Mountain. His delight prompts him to invite all to celebrate the Lunar New Year and to organize the first big celebration in 1851 Chinatown.
