A Year Of Holidays Around The World
A dozen holidays from as many places are described in brief text and luminous illustrations. These celebrations take place all through the year, as well as all around the world, making this a book for all seasons. Included is a beachside New Year's Eve celebration in Brazil, Bon Matsuri to honor the dead in Japan, a parade of wicker floats lit by lanterns for the end of Ramadan in Sierra Leone, lotus boat candles to thank the Mother of Waters in Thailand, and Las Posadas, a candlelight procession in Latin American countries. The book also describes the more familiar Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and the Swedish St. Lucia's celebration.
