Book ID/图书代码： 12343020C00007
English Summary/英文概要： After his family moves from Hong Kong to Los Angeles, a boy begins school in America. He has a difficult time adjusting with limited knowledge of the English language and American culture. His translator is embarrassed to have to speak her native language at school in front of her friends. The boy feels out of place and alone in his new environment, though his mother assures him that one day he will be proud of his Chinese heritage.
In February, the teacher gives the class a homework assignment: to come up with a theme with which to decorate the classroom. The boy knows exactly what the theme should be. He drafts some sketches of decorations for Chinese New Year. His teacher and classmates love the idea and have many questions about Chinese New Year for the boy. He is happy to answer and share his heritage with them.
New Year is based on author/illustrator Rich Lo’s childhood experiences immigrating to America, and it is ultimately a story about being proud of who you are and where you’ve come from.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在他的家人从香港搬到洛杉矶后，一个男孩开始在美国上学。由于对英语和美国文化的了解有限，他很难适应。他的翻译很尴尬，不得不在她的朋友面前在学校说她的母语。这个男孩在新环境中感到格格不入，感到孤独，尽管他的母亲向他保证，有一天他会为自己的中国血统感到自豪。
二月，老师给全班指派了作业：想出一个主题来装饰教室。男孩确切地知道主题应该是什么。他为中国新年画了一些装饰草图。他的老师和同学们都很喜欢这个主意，并且对于中国新年感到很好奇。他很乐意回答他们的问题，并与他们分享他国家的文化。
本书是基于作家/插画家 Rich Lo 童年移民美国的经历，是一个关于为自己是谁和来自哪里而感到骄傲的故事。
