"This book, which is geared towards children, was honestly enlightening to me as a twenty-four-year-old [...] I recommend this book to anyone with children in their lives so that others are able to really open their eyes to diversity and different cultures." Heather Padgett, reviewer

"Perfect book to read all year round as each of these holidays come up. The information is concise and would be a great resource for creating activities for each holiday for hands-on learning. Perfect for children ages 3 and older." Youth Services Book Review

"In this book, you will visit fourteen different places, each with its own cultures, customs, foods, and beliefs. It is important to remember to be kind and respect one another's different ways of celebrating. The illustrations in this book are very bright and festive! I think this is a fun book to be read aloud to the whole family! I especially like reading about how people in Mexico celebrate Christmas with a pinata and traditional Mexican dishes, like tacos, because I love tacos and rice!" KidsBookBuzz
