Discover all the celebratory traditions surrounding Lunar New Year in this festive addition to the Night Before series.

It's the night before Lunar New Year, and a little girl is excited for all of the celebrations to come. She's prepared dumplings with her mom, bought a new dress in Chinatown, and even helped scare mythical beast Nian away with her cousins and brother. There's only one problem: she's a bit nervous about all of the loud noises at the upcoming Lunar New Year Parade. Will she overcome her fears? Find out in the latest installment of the Night Before series, told in the style of Clement C. Moore's classic tale.

Series Overview: Having sold more than 7 million copies, The Night Before series offers parents and kids a way to talk about the many "firsts" and happy events children deal with using the classic, easy-to-follow rhyme of the Clement C. Moore holiday poem.
