The Day the Dragon Danced
By Kay Haugaard
Illustrated by Carolyn Reed Barritt

Sugar,an African-American girl, takes her skeptical Grandma to the Chinese New Year's parade, where she explains what she learned in school about Chinese New Year. Her father is a member of the dragon dance troupe, along with other ethnically diverse friends from the community. When the dragon begins to lose its footing, Sugar's quick thinking saves the day. With exuberant storytelling and colorful, lively paintings, this New Year story is the perfect embodiment of a truly multicultural celebration.
