Balloons, festoons, lights, cake and songs! This is how we celebrate. There is always a reason to celebrate: the beginning of spring, a birthday, Christmas. But not everyone celebrates the same things at the same time. Did you know that a wedding lasts a few days in India? And that Chinese people don t celebrate New Year the 1st of January but on another day? In this cheerful book of celebrations you find out more about the fun habits of people around the world.
