Illustrated by Jérémy Pailler
4 stars
A stunning story that visually represents the scaring away of bad luck and welcoming the new year. The story follows Yao and his first dance with the sky dragon, Shen Long. Together they chase away the bad luck and bring good luck to their community.
Pailler’s artwork is absolutely breathtaking. What wonderful color and movement. The illustrations really come to life and compliment the story perfectly.
At the back of the book is a note from the author with more information about Chinese New Year and dragon dances.
Beautiful and powerful.
