Review By LAWonder10:
Our Lunar New Year is a very informative book about “Chinese New Year” and how it is celebrated in various countries. It also makes children aware of different countries and varying beliefs. I was unaware of the various names for the New year in other countries.
The illustrated book suggested for ages 3 to 7. I feel it would be better served for those children ages 5 to 9. The illustrations are small and slightly faded out in a cartoonish fashion. Some are better than others. Also, It would be beneficial for a Glossary or something to enlighten readers on the pronunciations for the names and other unfamiliar words.
This is a very good book to teach children about the Chinese new year and for group reading programs.
I offer a Three and a Half Stars rating
This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review.
Meet the Author:
Yobe is an educator, entrepreneur and mom who lives in NYC. As an educator, she focused on teaching families to embrace love, diversity and different cultures. Through the years working in the classrooms and closely with other educators, she noticed the lack of multi-cultural resources that represented children of color. That is when Yobe decided to create multicultural children stories that feature Asian children, families and cultures! Yobe loves spending time with her daughter, reading to children and taking long walks during the day!
