Industry Reviews

"This was a wonderful celebration of a diverse cultures and holidays across the globe. In this book we get to visit 15 different areas and learn about the holidays that are celebrated in these places. Many of these celebrations I have never heard of until reading this book [...] Readers will also learn about the different foods or activities associated with the holiday. This book is extremely diverse in the illustrations and truly celebrates the global diversity of holidays and people who celebrate them. The illustrations are fun, and they incorporate many of the colors and illustrations that are culturally relevant based on the holiday." -Youth Services Book Review

"An engaging picture book [...] Each page spread includes an image of the celebration, surrounded by numbered boxes that call out specific celebrations shown, including foods, activities, and other key events of the holidays. [...] 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 a nice touch to bring a personal note to each page and add a bit of a storyline along the way. The breadth of countries and holidays (15) is also great with just enough detail to get the highlights of the events." -YA Books Central
