Dragon Parade is a fictionalized account of Norman Ah Sing who is a successful, newly-arrived Chinese grocer in San Francisco of the 1850s. He is thrilled to be in the Land of the Golden Mountain. He talks to other Chinese owners and plans a Chinese New year like they had in China. This prompts him to invite all to celebrate the Lunar New Year and to organize the first big celebration in 1851 Chinatown.
Steven A. Chin is a published author of children’s books. Some of his published credits include: Dragon Parade: A Chinese New Year Story, When Justice Failed: The Fred Korematsu Story (Stories of America) and The Success of Gordon H. Chong and Associates.
Mou-Sien Tseng has contributed to Dragon Parade: A Chinese New Year Story (Stories of America) as an illustrator. Tseng, who was born and raised in Taiwan, is the only artist living outside China to have received the Golden Globe Award for excellence in Chinese painting from the National Art Association in Taiwan.
Note: The most vibrant and colorful festival in the Chinese calendar is the Lunar New Year when the whole of Chinatown is ablaze with lights from ceremonial red lanterns, and the streets are bedecked with traditional decorations mainly in red, the color of good luck. The celebration starts with family reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, followed by visitations over the next few days.
Alex Haley, as General Editor, wrote the introduction.
