"The excellent-quality photographs and the brief, engaging text
come together to promote the theme: 'We are one human family
celebrating life on Earth!' ... A welcome addition to multicultural
literature." -- School Library Journal "The fascinating photographs
are the strong point here, but the short paragraphs that explain
the rituals and customs will tantalize readers to find out more."
