Birthdays Around the World
From the Set How the World Celebrates
Celebrate diverse cultures while highlighting how expressions of joy and connection are all part of the human experience.
Another year older, another year wiser—birthdays let us celebrate who we are and who we are growing to be. In Birthdays Around the World, readers will explore how people around the world celebrate their birthday, and the customs and traditions that define those celebrations.
The How the World Celebrates series offers readers the chance to explore celebrations like never before, taking a journey around the globe to see how young people experience important celebrations in their lives and the lives of their family and community. Through the lens of young people from around the world, one from the United States, and three others from places across the globe, readers will experience the excitement and joy of cultural and community traditions that bring people together.
This narrative nonfiction series uses considerate text that is written at a higher maturity level with a lower reading level to engage and accommodate struggling readers and includes sidebars that support geography, world history, and world cultures curriculum.
