This gorgeous children's book tells the legend of the Nian Monster, who terrorized many villages and was eventually scared away by fire, loud noises, and the color red. Which is why those three items are party of Lunar New Year celebrations today.
This book brings the Nian Monster to vivid life where our main character, Xingling, distracts the Movster with sumptuous dishes
You don't have to be a child to enjoy this charming book and especially not to enjoy the amazing art work by Alina Chau (her middle grade graphic novel Marshmallow & Jordan is also beautiful).
