Chinese New Year’s: A Canadian Mother’s Perspective

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

Gung Hay Fat Choi!  Xin Nian Kuai Le!  Today is Chinese New Year’s.  How will you be celebrating the occasion?  Read about how Chinese Canadian poet and mother Fiona Lam views the holiday with her son in “Discovering the Soul of Chinese New Year” in the B.C. based The Tyee.  I’m sure many Asian Canadians of a certain generation can relate; I certainly do!  Hope you have a blessed time with family and friends as you welcome in the new year.

Welcome, Year of the Ox!

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Xin Nian Kuai Le!

Happy New Year!

If you’re looking for books to read, you’ll find recommendations here – but Grace Lin has left a hole in this year’s celebration – there’s no Year of the Ox! Never mind – her Year of the Dog and Year of the Rat are a joy to read at any time!

Elizabeth’s Children’s Book Blog has some great recommendations for Chinese New Year, as does the Boston Public Library, which has both a general section and country-specific books. Happy reading!
