Such a creative way to share the traditions and festivals of different cultures around the world, this book is filled with pictures, facts, and much more that Barnabas and Anabel Kindersley have experienced first-hand. Having traveled to 18 different countries in just one year, the Kindersley's document a number of famous festivals and traditions that they experienced during their epic journey within these pages. The book is divided into seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter, showing what time of the year each festival is celebrated. Each included country features one specific child and festival, and includes their picture, name, age, tradition, ways they celebrate the tradition, why the tradition is celebrated, pictures of traditional rituals, etc. The reader can just about feel a connection to the child and country after reading and learning a bit about them. 63 pgs, hc. ~ Brianna
