Description:
Each title in this educational collection invites children to discover a holiday celebrated on Canadian soil. The origins of the celebration, the ancient and contemporary traditions associated with it, its symbols and their meaning, its various cultural facets, as well as examples of ceremonies held across the country are revealed in small touches via a dozen thematic double-page spreads. An illustrated glossary of four words completes the exploration. | Photographs and works of art punctuate the exploration, presented in a very sober and conventional, even old-fashioned, layout.
