Dragon Boats in August: NYC through a Year of Celebrations is a festive introduction to New York’s diversity—month by month. Young readers can look, listen, and learn about NYC’s many cultural traditions—Chinese, Indo-Caribbean, Jewish, Mexican, Puerto Rican, and more—starting with the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in Queens and culminating in a fireworks show in lower Manhattan on Independence Day. Celebrate NYC through vibrant colors, costumes, and communities!
This delightful multi-touch picture book features bold graphic design with vivid photo collages—and is enhanced with spirited on-scene videos, live music recordings, and a pop-up glossary linked by month.

A colorful, super-fun ride!
Not just for kids — I’ve lived in New York City for many years and learned so much about my hometown from this incredibly colorful, fun book. Especially loved the videos of all the amazing celebrations that go on here all year ‘round. Just be prepared for some field trips — your child (or you) will want to go to each and every one.
Dragon Boats in August
