Cute story about a little girl who celebrates Korean celebration of the lunar new year。The story also includes directions on how to fold a paper Bokjumoni

Utterly delightful! I've been a fan of Aram Kim's work for years now, despite not being a parent myself。 As a Korean American reader and illustrator, I just find her illustrations and storytelling so very charming。 It's moving to me to see traditions like these committed to the pages of an American storybook。 The evocative details -- playing yut nori, the itchy feeling of hanbok! -- reminded me of memories I'd thought were long forgotten。 I'm so excited to share this book with young readers of a Utterly delightful!

I love this book! The illustrations were really cute and I love all the bright colors。 A great way to introduce a cultural celebration to younger children whether their family celebrates Seollal or if you are simply wanting to teach them about cultures other than their own。 Going in the storytime rotation!

In the story, Mina shares traditions of Seollal with her class。 They learn jegi-chagi (like a hackey sack game) bangpe-yeon (kites), sebae (bowing for money), wearing a hanbok, yutnori (game), and making tteok-guk or rice cake soup。 But Mina gets upset when her little brother spoils her day。 I can’t wait to use this book to teach my current class about Lunar New Year。 (January 22, 2023!) Living in Korea for 10 years, allowed me to experience the wonderful holiday。 I try to keep up with the tradi In the story, Mina shares traditions of Seollal with her class。 They learn jegi-chagi (like a hackey sack game) bangpe-yeon (kites), sebae (bowing for money), wearing a hanbok, yutnori (game), and making tteok-guk or rice cake soup。 But Mina gets upset when her little brother spoils her day。 I can’t wait to use this book to teach my current class about Lunar New Year。 (January 22, 2023!)

And thank you, Farrar Strauss Giroux for my review copy! 。。。more
