Critics Review
Welcoming the Lunar New Year: Celebrate & Make would be a great addition to any family home to help to raise awareness and build experiences of different celebrations and cultures around the world. It would also be a brilliant book to have in any KS1 classroom in a school; it’s incredibly informative whilst being presented in a child-friendly, narrative format. – Lucy Hopkins * Reading Zone *
The perfect way to welcome a year full of happiness! – Pam Norfolk * Book-marked *
Follow along with Ren and his family as they prepare, using traditions old and new, for their Lunar New Year celebrations. Discover how it is celebrated the world over. Heartwarming. – Louise Ellis-Barrett * Armadillo Books *
This is a welcome addition to the still rather sparse selection of picture books about festivals from a range of cultures…I strongly recommend this beautiful, informative picture book that will hopefully inspire lots of art and craft work, cooking and discussion about different customs and celebrations. – Karen Argent * The Letterpress Project *
