"The Great Race" is a story about the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac and how they were placed on the lunar calendar. The illustrations are cute, colorful, and inviting to young children. The story is told in a way that honors the traditional elements of the Asian culture while being easy to understand. Children and parents can learn the origin of the lunar calendar and then identify the animal of their birth years with a date-specific zodiac chart.
Valerie is passionate about sharing family culture with her young son. After spending hours creating presentations to explain Chinese New Year to preschoolers, she wrote a book that appeals to young readers.
