This Next New Year
This Next New Year | Janet S Wong

Celebrating the Chinese New Year A young boy looks forward to Chinese New Year - also known as the Lunar New Year, the day of the first new moon. It is a time of hope, and you don't have to be Chinese to celebrate it! His best friend, Glenn, who is French and German, and his cousin Evelyn, part Hopi and part Mexican, like the food and the envelopes of money, while he celebrates the fresh start the day offers. He cleans the house to make room for luck, and is glad the palms of his hands itch - that means he is coming into money. Most of all, he vows not to say things such as "can't do / don't have / why me" because he has dreams he is ready to make come true. Janet S. Wong's spare, lyrical couplets voice a child's determination to face the new year with courage and optimism. Yangsook Choi captures the spirit of celebration in her vibrant, energetic pictures.

Working on getting organized for the New Year (when did THAT happen?) And it starts by getting my #bookspin list ready to go! My #readingresolution for 2021 is to work on my serieses and get back into my #KingReads I've also got a great #NewYearWhoDis list from @TheLibrarian so that is what I'm starting the year out with!

Looks like a good start to me!

This seems like a fitting book for my language practice today. It will be quite a challenge for me, and I'm a bit worried that I found a few typos in the English since I probably won't be able to recognize errors in the Korean yet and might learn mistakes. But language work and tea and a treat (earl grey doughnut mmm) is still this nerd's idea of a great afternoon 😁

Happy lunar new year 🎉
