This book is a great multicultural book about celebrating diverse holidays. Children can see how different ethics celebrate around the globe. Celebrations also has holidays that connect with science too. Some nationality celebrate holidays based on the season changes and weather changes. Teachers
Lesson that would connect to this book would be to have a Around the World Fest. This is a festival that would celebrate different cultures and traditions. Students could join a pen pal service and talk to different students around the globe about their differences in culture and other topics. Students should then bring different items for the different holidays. Have the kids write a report on their favorite holiday and what they learned.

children's books. The size of the books makes read them even more fun to read. I think all children need to learn about other cultures and how different people celebrate different holidays and celebrations in many different ways. I also think it is neat that the stories of the different celebrations are from real children in other parts of the world. Show Less
