The Night Before New Year’s by Natasha Wing: This rhyming picture book is a twist on the classic “Night Before Christmas” tale. It captures all the excitement and anticipation of New Year’s Eve.
Shante Keys and the New Year’s Peas by Gail Piernas-Davenport: Shanté Keys loves New Year’s Day! But while Grandma fixed chitlins, baked ham, greens, and cornbread, she forgot the black-eyed peas! Oh no―it’ll be bad luck without them! So Shanté sets out to borrow some from the neighbors.
