Children's Literature - Wendy Pollock-Gilson

Celebrate festivals from Finland throughout the calendar year! Easter, midsummer festival, Pikkujoulu, Shrove Tuesday, and Student's Day are among the many seasonal holidays celebrated in Finland. Bright colorful photographs of costumes, special foods, and holiday activities illustrate Finnish social life and customs. There are craft and recipe suggestions, which are explained step by step for some of the holidays such as Shrove Tuesday. This volume would be a wonderful addition for an elementary school multicultural unit. Bibliographic references, a glossary, and an index are included. Part of the "Festivals of the World" series.
