It's time to celebrate! From Christmas and Thanksgiving to Diwali and Halloween, kids won't want to miss out on all the festivities. Embark on an exciting journey through the most interesting and important festivals, celebrations, and holidays enjoyed by people around the world. Witness a camel marathon in a celebration of the Sahara Desert, and devour some delicious dumplings to celebrate Chinese New Year.

Stunning original illustrations and fascinating facts will inspire and inform children about cultures and religions from the countries of the world. Children will love poring over artist Katy Halford's beautiful illustrations, which showcase every celebration in absorbing detail.
