Storytime: Bringing in the New Year

Bringing in the New Year
By: Grace Lin

Let’s ring in the Year of the Ox with this colorful and beautiful book by Grace Lin. See how one family celebrates its Chinese New Year — hanging decorations, making dumplings, and more. The book ends with a lively dragon parade. You can dance, too! After the story, you can learn some basic steps of the Lion Dance.

Materials Needed: Lightweight basket, laundry basket, or cardboard box to lift over your head for the lion dance movement activity
