Synopsis "This is our World: Celebrate With us! (in English)"
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 colorful celebration of our planet's cultural diversity--an unforgettable journey that brings the people, customs, and religions of 20 places around the world vividly to life for young readers. Our guides are children who tell us about the feasts and festivals they enjoy and the religions and customs they follow. The tour is truly global, as we journey from the Gathering of Nations in New Mexico to the Hanami cherry blossom festival in Japan, from Christmas Eve in Poland to the Lunar New Year in Korea, via Australia's indigenous Barunga festival, the Jewish High Holy Days in New York, the Day of the Dead in Mexico, Eid al-Fitr in the UK, Diwali in India, 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.
