Discover the warmth and depth of the Chinese New Year as I, Jebeh Edmonds, bring to light the poignant story of "A New Year's Reunion." This narrative, lovingly crafted by Yu Li-Kuang with illustrations by Zhu Cheng-Liang, beautifully unfolds the tender moments between a little girl named Mao Mao and her father, showcasing the time-honoured customs of the Lunar New Year. From haircuts to home cleaning and the delightful tradition of making sticky rice balls, this episode promises to immerse you in a festival rich with emotion and cultural significance. You'll be touched by the resilience of families who endure separation and cherish reunions, a universal experience that transcends borders.
For those eager to broaden their horizons, I'll also guide you through the grand tapestry of Lunar New Year celebrations that span beyond a single day, contrasting its festivities with those of New Year's celebrations in the United States. From the Spring Festival's kickoff to the Lantern Festival's close, I'll unravel the lunar calendar's influence, the zodiacal beliefs, and how these traditions vary yet resonate across Asian cultures. And for educators, I offer a treasure trove resource that brings global celebrations like the Lunar New Year into the classroom, enriching young minds from kindergarten through fifth grade with the joy and learning that come with international holidays. Join me for an episode that's not just an exploration, but an experience of the Lunar New Year's splendor.
