In this double feature in celebration of Chinese New Year and the Lunar Calendar, we're exploring two books : Ruby's Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year.

RUBY'S CHINESE NEW YEAR: In this picture book celebrating Chinese New Year, animals from the Chinese zodiac help a little girl deliver a gift to her grandmother. Ruby has a special card to give to her grandmother for Chinese New Year. But who will help her get to grandmother's house to deliver it? Will it be clever Rat, strong Ox, or cautious Rabbit? Ruby meets each of the twelve zodiac animals on her journey. This picture book includes back matter with a focus on the animals of the Chinese zodiac. - Book By: Vickie Lee
