Summary
A multicultural family celebrates the traditions of two New Years--the Jewish Rosh Hashanah in the autumn, and the Asian Lunar New Year several months later.
"One family. Two New Years. For this multicultural family, inspired by the author's own, two New Years mean twice as much to celebrate! In the fall Rosh Hashanah offers an opportunity to dip apples in honey, cast away mistakes, and lift voices in song at the synagogue. In the spring, Lunar New Year brings a chance to eat dumplings, watch dragon dances, and release glowing lanterns that light up the sky. With joyful prose and luminous illustrations, Richard Ho and Lynn Scurfield invite readers of all backgrounds to experience the beauty of two New Year traditions, paying homage to the practices that make each unique while illuminating the values of abundance, family, and hope that they share." --
