Overview

A fun and informative celebration of Seollal, the Korean Lunar New Year! Seollal is Mina's favorite day of the year. She can't wait to show her classmates her hanbok and make tteokguk in the cooking room. Even her little brother, who wants to wear his shark shirt, not his hanbok, eventually joins in on the fun. This sweet window into Seollal offers a fresh perspective on the holiday while celebrating diversity and cultural acceptance. With backmatter including a glossary of Korean terms with pronunciation guide, this book is perfect for classrooms and libraries. In addition, the United States is home to the largest South Korean immigrant population in the world, setting up TOMORROW IS NEW YEAR'S DAY to be a backlist staple for the holiday season.
