Countless different festivals are celebrated all over the world throughout the year; some are national holidays, celebrated for religious and cultural reasons, while others are just for fun. With fun, folksy gouache illustrations, this book helps readers 5 to 8 to understand why people tuck into a meal with friends and family at Thanksgiving, get caught up in a tomato fight at Spain's La Tomatina, set off fireworks on Guy Fawkes Day, and celebrate the life and achievements of a civil rights icon on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
