This week we are celebrating the Chinese New Year. 2016 is the "Year of the Monkey". To honor different cultural traditions, I am producing a puppet show of "The Five Chinese Brothers". It is an adaptation of the story by Claire Huchet Bishop and Kurt Wiese and a retelling of an ancient Chinese tale. In the story, the five Chinese brothers use their gifts to help them survive and overcome a difficult situation. It is my hope that you learn about different cultures from around the world and that you use your gifts and talents to have happy and successful lives. Remember that you must learn to read BEFORE you can read to learn. I hope that "The Five Chinese Brothers" puppet show inspires you to read lots of different types of books in our Casey Library Media Center. Here is a link to the video of the puppet show on YouTube. Gung Hay Fat Choy! Translation: "Best wishes and congratulations. Have a happy and prosperous new year!"
