Meilea’s Chinese New Year

Caught in the hustle and bustle of Chinese New Year preparations, little Meilea couldn’t get her busy family to tell her the Chinese folklore of the New Year Monster. Ah-ma (Grandma) came to the rescue and tells Meilea the exciting origin of how Chinese New Year became an annual celebration. Meilea learns the meanings behind many traditions that are celebrated by the Chinese culture and by her family.

Seen from a four-year-old girl’s point of view, this educational book not only captures the imaginations of a child, but also uses Meilea’s family to illustrate Chinese folklore and meaningful Chinese traditions that can be understood and enjoyed by all ages.
