Lunar New Year: One Holiday, Many Celebrations

The story takes place in Mrs. Le's 3rd Grade classroom, where students learn that Lunar New Year isn't celebrated in just one way. Each group researches a different country-China, Vietnam, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia-to discover how each culture honors the holiday through its own unique traditions, foods, clothing, and beliefs. Whether readers are enjoying dumplings, tossing prosperity salad, or giving red envelopes, this book reminds us that each tradition contributes to something greater-a shared celebration of hope, unity, and pride in heritage.
