About The Book
Amy Wu celebrates Chinese New Year with her favorite family traditions in this sweet and brightly illustrated fifth installment in the Amy Wu picture book series.
Lunar New Year is Amy’s favorite holiday! Her family celebrates for two whole weeks, and she loves everything about it—the food, the decorations, and, most of all, the traditions! Amy’s favorite tradition is carrying her family’s lantern on Lantern Festival Day. Their lantern is special because every time Amy’s dad lights it, he’s reminded of his mother.
But when Amy accidentally crushes their family lantern, is her favorite tradition ruined for good?

About The Author
Photograph (c) 2020 by Mai Urai
Kat Zhang loves traveling to places both real and fictional—the former have better souvenirs, but the latter allow for dragons, so it’s a tough choice. A writer of books for teens and children, she spends her free time scribbling poetry, taking photographs, and climbing atop things she shouldn’t. You can learn more about her at KatZhang.com.
About The Illustrator

She is also the author-illustrator of Hug?. When they are not making art, they enjoy cooking, reading, and playing with their cats. Charlene lives with her husband (and cats!) in Hamilton, Ontario.
Why We Love It
“This is the first time readers get to celebrate Lunar New Year with Amy and this adventure is just as memorable, warm, and bighearted as the previous books.”
