Dragon Dancer by Joyce Chng
It is the eve of Chinese New Year and Yao is preparing to wake the ancient sky dragon, Shen Long, from his year-long sleep. From the moment Shen Long opens his great amber eyes and unfurls his silver-blue tail, Yao will be propelled on a magical journey through the skies of Singapore to battle the bad luck of the previous year and usher in the good. Will he succeed? Will his grandfather watch over him and protect him from harm?With evocative prose and gorgeous illustrations, Dragon Dancer brings a wonderful Lunar New Year tradition to life--Cindy Pon, author of Serpentine and Silver Phoenix
This book really is utterly stunning, told in atmospheric prose with glorious illustrations to match. As children learn about and help celebrate Chinese New Year at school, here s the perfect story book to accompany those celebrations. --Phil and Charlotte, authors of popular blog, ReadItDaddy
This is a book that celebrates the power of the imagination and the traditions of another culture. The illustrations waft darkly across the page, never revealing the whole picture but disclosing more the longer you look. The language is evocative and rich; it is a great book to read aloud. Together the illustrations and words compliment each other beautifully creating a dreamlike story that would also be an excellent educational springboard for exploring New Year festivities. --Seven Stories, National Centre for Children s Books
