IT’S CHINESE NEW YEAR, CURIOUS GEORGE Long Island Library Tour

For the first time, I’m going on a Long Island library tour for my book, It’s Chinese New Year, Curious George! The Lunar New Year falls on January 29, 2025, and my library events will take place surrounding this date.

Here’s a description of my library events:

Join Maria Wen Adcock, author of IT’S CHINESE NEW YEAR, CURIOUS GEORGE, as she teaches kids about Lunar New Year, New York’s new official school holiday! Enjoy a presentation, book reading, and a fun craft as we celebrate the Year of the Snake!

The library events are open to patrons of the libraries. If you or someone you know has children who would like to attend, please contact your library to register. I’d also love your support in spreading the word about these events so that there will be lots of participants.
