It’s Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month! Visit China to hear the story of the Great Race. In this bilingual book, The Great Race: The Story of the Chinese Zodiac, written by Ling and Eric Lee and illustrated by Rachel Foo, the Jade Emperor invites all the animals in his kingdom to a great race across the river. The first 12 animals to complete the challenge will become part of the Chinese Zodiac - they will get a year named after them! After the story, create a paper bag puppet of your favorite animal from the book!
