“Nash's accessible and engaging text thoughtfully presents information about both the origins of the holiday as well as modern celebrations, while the bright and eye-catching illustrations brim with community and shared traditions.
VERDICT. Highly recommended for purchase for any picture book or holiday collection.—Olivia Gorecke”
