“Thank you so much for all your help, Jade! It’s been such a pleasure working with you, and I feel so lucky that I found you. You’ve made my journey to self-publishing a lot easier. “ - Alice Trinh
“The story is well written and provides a good explanation of what Tet New Year is about, what it entails, and most importantly, the significance behind each aspect of the Tet celebration. I also enjoyed how Alice Trinh incorporated Vietnamese words into the story, emphasizing the common words we would hear during Tet time. Furthermore, the illustrations by Jade Le are so adorable and beyond my expectations of a children’s book. It makes it so fun to read! I am amazed by how nicely this book captures everything about Tet and is such a great way to teach and keep our kids in touch with their cultural background. I’ll probably use it to remind me what I need to do to prepare for Tet each year!” - Carolyn
