For this multicultural family, inspired by the author’s own, two New Years mean twice as much to celebrate! In the fall, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, offers an opportunity to bake challah, dip apples in honey, and lift voices in song. In the spring, Lunar New Year brings a chance to eat dumplings, watch dragon dances, and release glowing lanterns that light up the sky.
Why I like this book: Two New Years highlights a multicultural family that celebrates the lunar new year and the jewish new year. The book is a great way to learn about the similarities the two celebrations have.
