Holidays Around the World, Holiday Traditions, Storybook

This Heidisongs book introduces children to the many different ways that holidays are celebrated around the world, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Eid-ul-Fitr and Ramadan, and Kwanzaa, plus 10 other holiday traditions. Using child friendly language, descriptions, and illustrations, this book is the perfect introduction to multiculturalism and the idea of celebrating our differences as we look at holidays throughout the world.

Black and white coloring pages are included at the end of the book for children to decorate so that they can think about and reflect on what they have learned.
