Holiday Squirrel Tales Story Time: Lunar New Year with Sylvia Chen

Lunar New Year is coming up, and Sunny is stuck wearing hand-me-downs to the party AGAIN. 

The Lao family has four rules:

1. Make what you can yourself.

2. Get good deals.

3. Share extras with others.

4. Never waste anything.…which means that every year for Lunar New Year, Sunny winds up wearing a hand-me-down qípáo from her sisters. Just once Sunny wants to wear something that’s so her and not so one of her sisters! Can Sunny uphold the Lao Family Way while also staying true to herself? A heart-warming tale about Sunny, a creative and boisterous little girl desperate to make her mark. With gorgeous illustrations from Thai My Phuong, Sparkles for Sunny is sure to delight readers everywhere. Perfect for fans of Fancy Nancy and I Am Golden!
