Lunar New Year (Robin Hill School)
CCBC Review:
Robin Hill School has a visitor! Eigen’s mom is a guest in the first-grade class. Ms. Wong talks about the Lunar New Year using a variety of props, like a vase of flowers, a globe, and platter of dumplings. While she shares details about this spring holiday celebrated all over the world, especially in China where Eigen’s family is from, the students try to guess what part of the holiday Eigen likes best of all. Easy sight words and large, full-color illustrations anchor this school story celebrating the students’ curiosity and Eigen’s family traditions. ©2025 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
