Come to the Party! Chinese Festivals

---

Broaden cultural horizons and celebrate global diversity with Come to the Party! Chinese Festivals, an vibrant, instructional textbook co-created by writer Suzanne Lauridsen and acclaimed illustrator Sally Heinrich. Thoughtfully structured into a highly scannable and visually driven timeline, this introductory volume functions as an accessible blueprint of traditional Chinese celebrations. The text details the history, folklore, and sensory customs behind major annual events—including the Lunar New Year, the Lantern Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Mooncake Festival—highlighting the symbolic foods, dances, and family rituals that define them. By deploying a cross-disciplinary pedagogical blueprint that merges cultural anthropology, Asian history, social studies, and fine arts illustration, this enrichment reader serves as an exceptional resource, storytelling guide, and multicultural curriculum tool for elementary teachers, school librarians, lower school students, and parents.
