Age range 9 to 12A moving picture book to read when we' re missing family far away, set during Lunar New Year. It' s Lunar New Year, a time when families come together for a wonderful feast, and a father longs to be with his daughter - but she lives in another country. As he imagines how his daughter is spending the festivities, he recalls fond memories of time spent with her, feeling a sense of loss and dislocation. While he misses her deeply, he also recognises her need to move away, grow up, and become herself. New Year' s Eve is a beautiful and lovingly portrayed portrait of leaving home, finding independence, and loving those who are many miles away. At a time when so many families are unable to gather together, readers will relate to the universal message of missing our loved ones and dreaming of being together again.
"Gentle, heartfelt . . . [This book' s] universal themes of family and separation are especially resonant as we cope with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. "-Booklist"[A] story about home, independence, and love . . . brought to life with stunning watercolor illustrations. "-Quill & Quire"Lovely artwork. . . A sentimental holiday story told by a parent as he learns to let go. "-Kirkus Reviews
