A young boy is anxious as he begins a new school, having just moved with his family from Hong Kong to Los Angeles. He doesn't understand his new teacher or classmates, and the only other Chinese student is embarrassed to talk to him in Chinese. When his teacher gives the class a new assignment, our young friend is able to use his artwork to show his classmates a piece of his family and his heritage.
New Year is a sweet tale of a young boy learning to love his heritage while embracing a new culture. With brilliant illustrations portraying the boy's family, memories, and new life, this book is a great way to help kids adjust to a big move, or just give children an excellent glimpse into a new culture.
