Saehae bok mani badeuseyo! Madeleine and Eloise are getting ready for their family's Lunar New Year party, and there's so much to do before the guests arrive! From putting on colorful outfits called
hanboks and making Korean dumplings called
mandoo, to setting up
yutnori, a traditional board game, Madeleine shows her younger sister how to prepare for the holiday. But when Madeleine forgets to write a poem to share with the family, Eloise offers to help--and the girls realize that although each tradition is special, what matters most is spending the day together.
