YEAR OF THE TIGER

Illustrator Kam Mak, raised in Chinatown, chose narcissus flowers, considered auspicious at any time of year, for the Year of the Tiger stamp released by the U.S. Postal Service.   It is symbolic of renewed hope for the future.

People born during the Year of the Tiger are said to be courageous and to possess hidden reserves of strength. They are also thought of as candid yet mysterious. Famous people born in the Year of the Tiger include Marilyn Monroe, Stevie Wonder and Tom Cruise.  Tigers are compatible with Dragons and Horses.
