Is the New Year coming? A family works hard to welcome it in: Jie-Jie sweeps the old year out of the house, Ba-Ba hangs the spring-happiness poems, Ma-Ma makes the get-rich dumplings and Mei-Mei gets a fresh haircut. Then come the New Year feast, popping firecrackers, lions that scare away last year's bad luck, and lanterns to light the New Year's way. A bright, joyful Lunar New Year book with an author's note on the holiday's customs.
