Celebrations of Light: A Year of Holidays Around the World

32 pp. | Atheneum | October, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-31986-X $$16.00
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Mark Bender. Twelve festivals--most, but not all, religious--acknowledging the importance of light are described here, from Diwali (India) to Hanukkah (Israel), from Buddha's birthday (Korea) to Las Posadas (Mexico). Clear and economical, the brief descriptions are accompanied by strongly patterned paintings that are more decorative than illustrative.
