My Wheel of the Year

“Through a descriptive narrative and a host of colorful children of diverse multicultural backgrounds, the book details the eight holidays on the Wheel of the Year. Van De Car demonstrates ways to unite families and communities during the holidays without an overemphasis on commercialization and consumerism, but instead concentrating on ways to connect with nature’s regenerative gifts of renewal and harvest. Kita’s beautifully illustrated scenery depicts activities and observances connected to each holiday…an introductory resource to expand knowledge about holidays and seasons celebrated around the world.”–School Library Journal
