I REALLY RESCUED A GOAT TO SAVE CHINESE NEW YEAR

Share a treasured folk tale with young readers. With playfully animated illustrations,  Abbie Rose and the Magic Suitcase brings to life the story of the Great Race, which determined the order of the animals on the Chinese calendar. The book’s plucky little heroine uses her magic suitcase to travel to China, where she meets the Jade Emperor—and helps the hapless Goat reach the finish line and claim his spot alongside Dragon, Monkey, and other creatures. Read-Aloud narration lets children follow along independently as Abbie embarks on her whimsical adventure.

The book was released as an Apple iBook exclusive to celebrate Chinese New Year. It was published in three different languages and was downloaded more than 400,000 times and went to No.1 in eight countries.
