The illustrations by Justin Roth truly bring life to the characters. My kids really enjoyed this story. - Asian Mommy This bright, playful story makes the ancient tradition of the Chinese zodiac accessible to and fun for contemporary children, whatever their cultural background. Justin Roth's illustrations reflect his roots as an animator: the cartoon-like characters are big on emotion with exaggeratedly expressive faces... All in all, The Year of the Tiger is a great way for young readers to welcome in the lunar New Year! - Paper Tigers I was first introduced to your books when I was working with Kidspace Museum in Pasadena, and fell in love with them. Not only as an auntie to my nephew, but as an adult myself! When I came to The Huntington, you can imagine my happiness to know that you annually contribute to our Chinese New Year family festival. I look forward to your books each year and can't wait for the fun adventures The Year of the Tiger will take us to! - Julianne Johnston, Huntington Library, San Marino, CA Excellently written and containing charming and playful illustrations, the book is an excellent introduction to the ancient tradition of Chinese New Year in a contemporary fashion. - Nancy Keane's Booktalks
