For Chinese New Year, we read the story of Ming Ming to our little monsters. Her grandmother tells her the ancient, traditional story about the origins of the Chinese zodiac. In the Western world, we also have zodiac signs that feature animals, but the Chinese zodiac is quite different.
Each of the Chinese animals is associated with a year. The year you were born connects you with that animal. You can find out exactly how this works at the back of the book. But first, read the beautiful story Ming Ming's grandmother tells her, about how exactly the origins of the Chinese zodiac came about.
The story in this beautiful picture book was written by children's author Jietong Hsu and her sister Jiefan Hsu. How lovely is that? The beautiful illustrations are by artist/illustrator Mei Fang Tan; visit her website to see more of her work.
