Our Thoughts:
Celebrations Around the World is a fantastic collection of holidays and festivities that people celebrate all over the world.
Starting with New Year celebrations, this colorfully illustrated picture book takes us through all of the important holidays and festivals and tells us about how they are celebrated in different parts of the world. Lots of neat traditions are included, such as smashing plates on their neighbors' doors in Denmark to wearing yellow underwear in South America for luck in the new year.
We've previously read and enjoyed 'Around the World in 80 Ways' by the same illustrator (and in a similar style) but this is now our favorite of the two! It has all our favorite holidays like Halloween and Christmas but also included plenty of holidays and festivals that we knew little to nothing about, such as Holi, Las Fallas, Dongji, and Anzac Day.
The illustrations are fun and festive with lots of colors and details that really set the mood of each holiday. We especially loved the darker pages that made all the bright lights pop!
