A fun real-aloud story focusing on Lunar New Year. Follow Mei Mei and her family as they prepare for and celebrate the spring festival. This includes cleaning, decorating, cooking, and setting off firecrackers. But the loud noises meant to chase away Nian are too loud for Mei Mei. Will she be able to come up with a solution before the big parade?
Wonderful flow to the rhymes. Great illustrations. I love how Mei Mei put her problem-solving skills to good use.
A sweet story about family, community, and togetherness.
