With the dawn of a new lunar year, one of twelve animals in the zodiac will rise and shine and distinguish the year with its unique personality. And when that year is over, the creature will lie down, close its eyes, and dream its dreams until its turn comes around again. With gorgeous bold, graphic imagery and a touch of humor, Jiemei Lin offers a dreamscape of sweet rhymes and sleepy creatures. From the tiny mouse to the mighty tiger, each is labeled with its own pictogram, and more information about the lunar year and the zodiac may be found in a note at the end.
