During the Chinese New Year, the Chinese celebrate this holiday by having a lot of lights and a parade with a dragon! Families celebrate together with food and give money as a sign of good luck and good fortune.

The book has illlustrations using photographs. It depicts the life of the Chinese culture. It tells about the origins of the Chinese New Year, the Chinese Calendar. Great pictures showing the types of foods the Chinese culture might eat, types of games, what parades look light and what is in them. ( )
