Year
of the Rat
The United States Post Office's 2008 commemorative stamp program begins with a celebration of the Chinese Lunar New Year with the issuance of the Celebrating Lunar New Year: Year of the Rat stamp. The rat is the first of 12 animals associated with the Chinese lunar calendar. People born in the Year of the Rat are said to be industrious, adaptable and ambitious. The Year of the Rat begins February 7, 2008, and ends January 25, 2009. The stamp will be dedicated January 9 at the Nob Hill Masonic Center in San Francisco. Art director Ethel Kessler of Bethesda,
MD, worked with illustrator Kam Mak, an artist who grew up in New York
City's Chinatown and now lives in Brooklyn.
