Chinese New Year (Festivals and Faiths)

Lucky red parcels, fire and light, drums and dancers and favorite foods—the Chinese New Year has begun! How and when did the Chinese New Year begin? Why is it so important? How can you join in too? Guiding children through the history of the Chinese New Year, this interactive book also teaches how readers can take part in the event in their own lives, includes color photographs that show how the festival is marked, and relates its cultural and religious importance to the communities involved.
