This week on EMU’s Debuts, we’re celebrating the release of Andrea Wang‘s new picture book, THE NIAN MONSTER. It’s a wonderfully spun tale that tells how one young girl, Xingling, saves the Chinese New Year when the Nian Monster threatens to eat everyone and everything in sight! Yikes!

Go out and get a copy so you can see how this clever girl uses her wits and knack for snacks to trick the Nian Monster!
