Look inside

The first pages — with Kai as the hero

قبل يوم من رأس السنة القمرية، كنست عائلة كاي الشقة كلها وفركتها حتى لمعت. قال بابا: «فلتخرج السنة القديمة، لنفسح المكان للسنة الجديدة!»

The day before Lunar New Year, Kai’s family swept and scrubbed the whole flat. “Out goes the old year,” said Baba, “to make room for the new one!”

ثم وصلت آه ما وآه غونغ، الجدّة والجدّ، بحقائب مليئة بالأحمر: فوانيس حمراء، وزهور ورقية حمراء، وشرائط حمراء. وسرعان ما صارت الشقة مثل حبّة فراولة كبيرة سعيدة!

Then Ah Ma and Ah Gong, Grandma and Grandpa, arrived with bags full of red: red lanterns, red paper flowers, red ribbons. Soon the flat looked like a big, happy strawberry.
