A New Year's Reunion

(2) PS Illustrated by Zhu Cheng-Liang. Little Maomao and her mother prepare both for Chinese New Year and for her father's annual return home (he works far away). The harmonious gouache paintings use lots of red and bright colors. This award-winning import is an excellent introduction to Chinese New Year in China and a poignant, thoughtful examination of the joys and sorrows of families living apart.
