“Brief text accompanies captivating and colorful photographs that demonstrate customs around the world. The use of bonfires and candles, Nativity plays, Advent wreaths, winter solstice, Three Kings Day, and Yule logs are among the topics touched upon. A map shows where each photo was taken. A solid addition.”—School Library Journal
