Ying shares her own observations and opinions about what makes Chinese New Year the 'best', introduces us to her family (including cats) and takes us along on her Year of the Cat campaign, all captured in Josie Yee's colorful, exquisitely detailed illustrations. It is truly a book about the joy of holidays with family, with the extra, added anticipation that surrounds the arrival of a new sibling. |
