Recenzje

"This was a wonderful celebrationof a diverse cultures and holidays across the globe. In this book we get tovisit 15 different areas and learn about the holidays that are celebrated inthese places. Many of these celebrations I have never heard of until reading thisbook [...] Readers will also learn about the different foods or activitiesassociated with the holiday. This book is extremely diverse in theillustrations and truly celebrates the global diversity of holidays and peoplewho celebrate them. The illustrations are fun, and they incorporate many of thecolors and illustrations that are culturally relevant based on theholiday." Youth Services Book Review

"An engaging picture book [...] Each page spread includes animage of the celebration, surrounded by numbered boxes that call out specificcelebrations shown, including foods, activities, and other key events of theholidays. [...] This is a really fun look at different holidays around the world.The inclusion of a character that guides the journey through each holiday is anice touch to bring a personal note to each page and add a bit of a storylinealong the way. The breadth of countries and holidays (15) is also great withjust enough detail to get the highlights of the events." YA Books Central
