Get ready to celebrate Lunar New Year in this delightful story. Ren and his family are preparing for the New Year celebrations – cooking a feast and tidying up. But when Ren accidentally rips apart his mum’s dragon costume for the New Year parade, he has to ask his neighbours for help. As they provide him with the materials he needs to fix the dragon, he learns all about Lunar New Year traditions around the world and soon they are all celebrating together with a festive feast. A heartfelt story from chef and food writer Lara Lee in her picture book debut, richly illustrated by Natelle Quek.
