This next new year
is about to begin.Not the regular new year.
January 1.But the lunar new year,
the day of the first new moon.Just like the New Year that begins on January 1, the Chinese New Year is a time for hope, a fresh start, a second chance.
In spare, lyrical verse, Janet S. Wong speaks in the voice of a child determined to face the next year with optimism and courage, and Yangsook Choi captures the spirit of celebration in her vibrant palette and energetic pictures.
