Celebrate Christmas: With Carols, Presents, and Peace (Holidays Around the World)
by Deborah Heiligman (Author)
Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade
Series: Holidays Around the World
December 25th is a day of peace and festivity, the culmination of a season of worldwide goodwill. Carol singers give voice to the joyful spirit, trees are decorated, and gifts exchanged between families and friends. A name-check of the gift-bearers awaited by children reflects the global nature of the celebration: Pere Noel in France, Santa Claus in America, La Befana in Italy, and the Three Kings of Hispanic cultures. With first-person narrative, informative back matter, and evocative photography, Celebrate Christmas is a rich historical and cultural resource for children. National Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources.

Gr 2-4. 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. - Madeline J. Bryant, Los Angeles Public Library
