Critical Reviews
Vibrant photos transport readers around the world as they explore special celebrations observed by people from various faiths and cultures. To ensure a clear understanding of the holidays, the authors provide detailed histories leading up to the observance, including the stories of Passover and Siddhartha, and others. The books vividly describe how these holidays are celebrated in diverse locations, highlighting the variations in observance. Students will discover that even holidays they observe can take on a different appearance in another country. Readers will then delve into the numerous traditions associated with each holiday. The back matter includes a glossary, additional resources, and an index. VERDICT Eye-catching, informative, and celebratory. Recommended.--Cathy DeCampli, Haddonfield Public Library, NJ "School Library Journal"
