Li’s Chinese New Year
Bilingual English Vietnamese picture book for kids about Lunar New Year, with a simple story plus zodiac facts, recipes, and activities. ISBN-13 9781846115752.
This is a bilingual Vietnamese-English board book for young children, especially families who want early Vietnamese exposure through familiar holiday themes. It uses Tết items and traditions to teach simple color words, so it works best for beginners and preschool-age kids rather than older learners who want fuller language practice.
The book focuses on basic color vocabulary like xanh, đỏ, and vàng, while also introducing cultural words such as bánh chưng and bao lì xì. Because it is a board book, it is built for small hands and short read-aloud sessions. Tiny Wrist also says it comes with a free sticker sheet and a QR code for extra digital content, which adds a little more variety than a standard picture book.
What makes it useful is the mix of vocabulary and culture. You are not just teaching colors in isolation. You are also giving a child some context for Vietnamese Lunar New Year. That said, this is still a very simple book. It is better for exposure, bonding, and early word recognition than for deep reading, grammar, or speaking practice.
If you want a first Vietnamese book for a toddler or a bilingual family gift, this is a good fit. If you are an adult learner or a child who already knows basic color words, you will probably outgrow it quickly. You can find it on the Tiny Wrist website.
