Lighting Our World: A Year of Celebrations

32 pp. | Kids Can | September, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-55453-594-1 $17.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Jacqui Oakley. An international array of festivals, such as Up Helly Aa in Scotland's Shetland Islands and Peru's Inti Raymi, is covered in calendar order. Most spreads highlight two celebrations or holidays--one related in a child narrator's first-person voice, the other in drier informational text. The festive, color-saturated acrylic and ink illustrations tend toward gaudy. This is a suitable introduction to cultural traditions. Glos.
