Personalized Lunar New Year Books for Kids

A Lunar New Year Story Starring Your Child

Your child at the reunion dinner, wishing the grandparents a happy New Year and getting a red envelope back, then out the door to watch the lion dance. You won't find a Lunar New Year book with their face and name in it on a shelf, so this one is written and drawn for your family, whether it's a baby's first New Year or a kid who already knows which animal they are.

• Your child celebrates the New Year in the story, drawn from a photo
• Written around how your family celebrates, Chinese, Korean, or your own mix
• Add parents, siblings, grandparents, and cousins as characters, up to 4 people
• New Year's Eve, the first morning, or the Lantern Festival
• A hardcover that comes out every year with the decorations

A New Year Keepsake for Families Far From Home

For a lot of families here, the New Year falls on a school day, and the celebration you grew up with lasted two weeks. A personalized Lunar New Year book is a way to hand down the parts that matter: why the house gets cleaned before, why nobody sweeps on the first day, what your grandmother said when she handed out the red envelopes.

Bring it out every year with the decorations, and let the grandparents add the stories they remember.
