This was such a fantastic story. I loved learning more about the lion dances and seeing the differences between Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean ways of celebrating Lunar New Year.
I also love how the different types of love were presented - love in friendship, in family, and in romantic love. It was so heartwarming and a little bit magical combined with everything else in the story.
That all being said, the grandma was definitely my favourite character. We love a fun granny.
The art was stunning, the story was heartwarming and hopeful, this book was definitely a win for me.
TW: alcohol consumption; mentions death of a parent, violence, cancer
