It annoyed me that because the authors were trying to get a variety of countries included that they assigned Halloween to Canada only (even though the U.S. However, I’d advise reading Children Just Like Me before or after this book. Celebrating holidays not our own helps us learn (in a fun way) about other cultures.
I do enjoy celebrating all holidays with children for me that means doing so with all in a secular fashion. If the reader is particularly interested in world holidays (various religious and secular) then this book is one to read. I would have appreciated even more holidays described, although I guess I do think it’s good that the holidays featured are those that are considered happy and not somber ones. It seemed to me that fewer children were profiled. This felt slightly less substantial than that book.
From the dazzling costumes of the Rio Carnival to the role of the elephants in Sri Lanka's Esal Perahera, children everywhere will love learning about the festivals and the wonderful ways that these events are celebrated around the world.This book is a good adjunct to the book Children Just Like Me, a book by the same team that created this one. Original photography and the children's own words bring to life many of the world's major religious and local celebrations from countries as far apart as Japan and Mexico, India, and Sweden. The children's stories are recorded in this beautiful book, which is published in association with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). For 12 months Barnabas and Anabel have traveled around the world, meeting children and talking to them about the celebrations and festivals they enjoy. This remarkable new book from photographer and writer team Barnabas and Anabel Kindersley captures the color and vibrancy of international children's festivals. For Man Po, Sonu, and Janaina, the locations may be different, but the preparations, the excitement, and the atmosphere of their favorite festivals are the same. Everyone loves a special occasion - be it New Year in Hong Kong, Diwali in India, or Carnival in Rio. Festivals, carnivals, and feasts from around the world.
