“This evocative collection of poetry traces the footprints of heritage through the voice of a child born at the cusp of the new year. Each verse is a vivid tableau…weaving a tapestry of flavours and superstitions…readers are invited to explore the deep threads of culture, tradition, and the gentle guidance of elders. This book is a celebration of the tender bonds that tie generations together, captured in the vibrant, sensory language of familial love.”

—ALLAN CHO, Director of the Asian Canadian Writers’ Workshop

“…there is also something a little mysterious in the poems, at least to me, something that I can’t always put my finger on…But what they always do is give us a quiet sense of this child and her growing awareness of the immediate world around her.”

—CARY FAGAN, author of The Student, finalist for the Governor General’s Award and the Toronto Book Award
