Meet children from around the world as they tell us about the feasts and festivals they enjoy and the religions and customs they follow.

This Is Our World - Celebrate With Us!, written by Valerie Wilding, is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed This Is Our World. It's a vibrant and colourful celebration of our planet's cultural diversity - an unforgettable journey that brings the people, customs and religions of twenty places to life for young readers.

The tour is truly global, as we journey from Eid al-Fitr in the UK to the Hanami cherry blossom festival in Japan, from Christmas Eve in Poland to the Lunar New Year in Korea, via Diwali in India, Australia's indigenous Barunga festival, the Jewish High Holy Days in New York, the Day of the Dead in Mexico, and much more.

This is both a beautiful gift book and a highly-accessible home reference, sure to foster an interest in the wider world, in travel, in diversity, and in cultures and religions.

About the Author

Valerie Wilding loves writing for children because it makes her happy, and she can’t imagine doing anything else. She was a teacher for many years, then a school librarian, but writing took over and that’s how she spends her days. It’s the most challenging and the most satisfying work she’s ever done. Valerie writes fiction and non-fiction and especially enjoys narrative non-fiction, where lots of information is wrapped up in an exciting story. She has written over a hundred books, on all sorts of subjects, and she likes to bring a touch of humour to everything she does.

About the Illustrator

Åsa Gilland is a Swedish illustrator who loves all things retro, quirky imagery, and folk art themes. She studied interior design at Accademia Italiana Moda and has 20 years of experience in illustration. She illustrated Kingfisher’s This is Our World and We Are All Different.
