The Missing Red Envelopes by Yobe Qiu – Review by Rita White

This is a great book for kids ages 7 to 12. I had my 12 year old granddaughter read this to me, and just hearing her read this book about the different culture was great. She really enjoyed the book also. The illustrations were phenomenal, and the writing was great.
In this book, we learn about the Lunar New Year and two Asian American sisters going throughout this special day. It’s tradition to visit family and friends and receive red envelopes containing money and chocolates. The red envelopes are misplaced, so they retrace their steps to find them. Great story, and I absolutely love that the big sister doesn’t get mad and is very patient with the little sister. It’s such a cute little book.
