If you were to judge this book solely by the cover you might expect a simple list of familiar holidays. Don't be fooled. Clocking in at nearly two hundred pages, we get a relatively comprehensive exploration of holidays and festivals. Broken up by intent, rather than calendar date, each celebration gets a full treatment. We learn about the culture it comes from, how it is celebrated, and approximately when it happens during the year. This is a book you can read all at once or revisit periodically as the festivals occur. As such it's a solid choice for a child or a strong resource for adults working with children.
