A young girl finds an exciting role for herself at the Chinese New Year celebration in her family's restaurant. At last, she isn't being told that she's too young to help! Jia's family is busy preparing for the Chinese New Year feast at their restaurant in Chinatown, and Jia wants to take part. But each time she tries to help she's told that she's too young: too young to be in the kitchen, too young to light the lanterns, too young to carry the plates. And then the feast begins, and something wonderful happens. When Jia is scolded for getting too close to the exciting lion dance, one of the dancers swoops her up and into the costume, and suddenly she's a part of the performance--a crucial part that saves the show. Never again does her family tell her that she's too young to help!
