Shanté Keys and the New Year's Peas

Shanté Keys loves New Year’s Day! But while Grandma fixed chitlins, baked ham, greens, and cornbread, she forgot the black-eyed peas! Oh no -- it’ll be bad luck without them! So Shanté sets out to borrow some from the neighbors. Shanté doesn't find peas but discovers that her neighbors have fun foods and traditions for their New Year’s!

In this multicultural New Year’s story, Shanté Keys learns about Chinese New Year and Diwali, as well as how January 1st is celebrated in other countries. The author includes additional pages of information about diverse New Year’s traditions and special foods.
