My Review: 

Our Lunar New Year: Celebrating Lunar New Year in Asian Communities is a great way to find out how five Asian countries celebrate the Lunar New Year. It was a fun way of learning more about Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Indian have their own way of celebrating this holiday. I loved seeing the Chinese dancing dragons, the Vietnamese lion costumes, the games the Korean children play, the Thai parades, and how the Indian people decorate for the exciting holiday. There was a lot I learned about each one of the cultures: the food they eat, how they spend their day (or even over several days), and other traditions they during this time. 

It was fun to see that Our Lunar New Year: Celebrating Lunar New Year in Asian Communities is illustrated by three different talented artists: Christine Kim, Jennifer Prevatt and Pui Yu Chan. The pictures give great visualizations of the individual Lunar New Year celebrations of each of the countries. They were a great addition to the book. 

I am giving Our Lunar New Year: Celebrating Lunar New Year in Asian Communities five stars. I recommend it for readers who are between the ages of three and ten years old, as well as, for those who enjoy reading about their own or others’ cultures. 

I received a hard cover copy of Our Lunar New Year: Celebrating Lunar New Year in Asian Communities from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
