Description
A delicious ode to food, family, and togetherness that celebrates Lunar New Year A little girl and her family are hosting a New Year party, an event marking the Lunar New Year. There's a lot to do before the guests arrive! First, a trip to the market to fill up the Tray of Togetherness, a special candy box for the partygoers. Each of the eight lucky snacks in the Tray has an auspicious meaning: peanuts for a long life, pistachios for happiness, candied coconut for strong family ties. As the family returns home, they pass out delicious good wishes to the friends and neighbors they meet along the way. After the tray has been prepared and the decorations set up, it's time for the party! A diverse group of relatives and friends gathers, ready to celebrate the New Year with the Tray of Togetherness. This sensory, food-focused story is brought to life with eye-catching illustrations and a little girl's cheerful narration. Debut author/illustrator Flo Leung encourages readers to explore culturally specific Lunar New Year practices, while offering a universal message about carrying on traditions and creating community.
