A Calendar of Festivals
by Cherry Gilchrist; illustrated by Helen Cann

"In our modern world, where we usually live in small groups, itīs especially important to share our festivals and celebrate together," says author Cherry Gilchrist. She chooses festivals originally established by Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Caribbean, Japanese, Celtic, and Russian traditions.
Each festivalīs chapter begins with a one-page overview followed by the story of how the fete came into being. Illustrator Helen Cann varies her motifs to compliment the culture celebrated. An excellent book for the whole family.
