"You're still too little, Ren."

Every year, Ren's family gathers to prepare for and celebrate Lunar New Year. Bright oranges, tangerines, pomelos, and kumquats are all around. More than anything, Ren wants to help make her favorite pineapple cakes.

Watching and waiting, Ren wonders, when will she be old enough? This year is different. The family is together, and it's Ren's chance at last! 

A Sweet New Year for Ren is a joyous celebration of family and tradition and the love that spans the years.

Includes a recipe for pineapple cakes.
