One of our favorite illustrators, Ewa Poklewska-Kozietto (she illustrated another book we carry, Christmas is Coming, by Monika Utnik-Strugata) has teamed up this time with author Joanna Konczak for an around-the-world look at 36 celebrations.

And what do people wear to the Carnival of Venice? You'll discover the smells, tastes, sights, and unforgettable traditions of festivals from every season, filled with interesting facts and yes, plenty of Ewa Poklewska-Kozietto's bold, bright illustrations. This truly international collection includes celebrations and traditions such as: Nowruz, Holi, Rosh Hashanah, Sogkran, Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Eid Al-Adha, Carnival, Halloween, Obon, Thanksgiving, the Dragon Boat Festival, Saint Patrick's Day, and many more.
