PreS–This book features celebrations of all kinds for small children, including Adoption Day, Lei Day, Ramadan, Passover, Preschool Graduation, Diwali, and more. Each celebration is presented in an age-appropriate way, with a single photo featuring a child or children, and sometimes an adult, with one to four words underneath. For example, Day of the Dead shows a small child and an adult holding a framed photo; the words at the bottom of the page say, “and remember.” All the photos lend themselves to discussion between children and adults. Back matter includes Family Discussion Questions and a glossary. The discussion questions are broken down for babies and toddlers, 2-4 year olds, and 4-6 year olds. “Talk to your little(s) about your own family celebrations,” the Babies & Toddlers questions start. “Who do we celebrate with? What do we eat?” A glossary lists all the celebrations depicted.
VERDICT This well-organized, beautifully photographed title is highly recommended as a way to introduce small children to diverse celebrations. It is also an excellent tool to spark discussion in families.
