Description:
Zodiac animals run wild in this laugh-out-loud Lunar New Year story that combines holiday traditions with Jumanji-style fun!
Tai receives a special red envelope for Lunar New Year. But that's still an entire day away, and he can't wait to see what's inside! Hoping for chocolate, he instead finds a set of Chinese zodiac animal toys, the kind that grow in water.
Maybe he'll drop just ONE of them in the sink... after all, what could happen?
Brief description:
MeiLin Chan is a children's book author who finally found what she wants to be when she grows up. She enjoys writing about wild adventures she wishes she could have and difficult situations she is grateful to avoid. When she's not writing, she's likely making scary faces at nut-stealing squirrels by her almond trees with her daughters and husband in Northern California. Like Tai, she adores chocolate coins and magical animals and would love to ride a dragon. This is her first picture book. Check out a fun alternate ending and her other forthcoming children's books at www.meilinchan.com and follow her on Instagram @meilinwrites.
