Although holidays such as Halloween, Christmas, Epiphany and Hanukkah are familiar to most people in the United States, Raksha Bandhan, Kokomono-hi, Egmenlik Bayrami and Holi are known to but a few. Writer Anabel Kindersley and photographer Barnabas Kindersley, traveled to 18 countries to join children celebrating important festivities of their lives -- in Hong Kong, Brazil, Zambia, England, Japan, France, Ethiopia, Turkey, Sri Lanka, India, Jordan, Vietnam, Canada, Mexico, US, Slovakia, Sweden, Germany and Spain. The four seasons of the year provide the structure to explore the rich diversity of 25 different religious holidays and cultural celebrations found throughout our world. Numerous photographs picture the children dressed in traditional costumes and show scenes from their celebrations as well as captioned images detailing their festivals.
