Mina can’t wait to share the customs of Seollal with all of her friends at school. She will show her classmates her colorful hanbok, demonstrate how to do sebae, and then everyone will make tasty tteokguk in the cooking room. Yum! Her little brother may even join in on the fun… if he can find a way out of his bad mood.
Why I like this book: Tomorrow is New Year’s Day shows siblings getting ready for the Lunar New Year and shows a brother who does not want to wear his hanbok. This book shows a very real situation of a family navigating a child having strong emotions during an important holiday.
