Why read it?

1 author picked Two New Years as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is a beautiful marriage of Chinese and Jewish cultures.

Living in Hong Kong and raising Chinese Jewish children, it was a joy to find another book that shows where these traditions merge. The lively illustrations and simple text make it the perfect way to show these parallels to children. It is a story about the love of family and tradition. 

From Erica's list on illustrated stories that are Jewish&.
