About the Story

 

For Chinese tradition, the New Year has meant that the whole family should sit around happily to eat dumplings and set off firecrackers to welcome the New Year. 

 

In the book " Sleepy, Sleepy New Year ", the hero, 'Bao Bear', sleeps soundly in the New Year! Therefore, he never knows what it is like to celebrate the New Year. The weather is getting colder day by day, and the Bao Bear is getting more sleepy day by day. This year, Bao Bear decided not to doze off. He spent the New Year with his friends!

 

This book is not limited to traditional folk stories but uses new festival stories to show the long-standing traditional culture and festival connotations. Let's listen to the story together in the festival atmosphere!
