One parent asks…
“Anyone have a fav Lunar new year picture book? Would greatly appreciate recommendations for 4-6yo.”
Recommendations include…
“The Great Race: The Story of the Chinese Zodiac”
“My daughters (3 and 7) love The Nian Monster by Andrea Wang. It’s been a favorite in our house for years.”
“When my kiddo was younger we read Bringing in the New Year by Grace Lin a lot. It led to some interesting conversations about how we celebrated versus how it was shown in the book. It was a nice lead up to more discussions about how families are different and celebrate different holidays, etc.”
“My kids love《十二生肖的故事》(The Story about the Chinese Zodiac). I also read books like 《团圆》(the Reunion) and 《回家》(Going Home) to my kids to introduce the most important holiday in Chinese culture from a different angle.
I have recorded all of those books and posted them on my YouTube Channel “萝卜妈妈讲故事 Babyda's Mandarin Story Time.” Here is the playlist if you are interested.”
