One way to commemorate the Chinese New Year would be to share Chinese Children's Favorite Stories by Mingmei Yip. Traditional tales such as "The Monkey King" sit alongside perhaps lesser known stories like "The Mouse Bride," which explains why Chinese children traditionally leave sesame, candy and corn under their beds as New Year's gifts for mice. Yip's paintings emulate classic Chinese silkscreen renderings, especially the serene nature images of "The Frog Who Lived in a Well." .
