After kicking off the month with a book about celebrations around the world, now it's time to celebrate! Yes, two of the four books are Christmas. But, they aren't white, Western, traditional Christmas.
An island Christmas by Lynn Joseph & Catherine Stock.
Welcome to Christmas in Trinidad and Tobago. A story rich in traditions, and carrying the warmth of family and the tropical sun.
Shubh Diwali by Chitra Soundar & Charlene Chua.
Additional author notes, and a diverse community - shown in the illustrations - make this a wonderful introduction to Diwali.
The trolley by Patricia Grace & Kerry Gemmill.
A classic from Aotearoa New Zealand. Christmas in a small whānau (family), with a solo-mum doing her best to make this the best Christmas.
White Sunday by Litea Fuata & Myo Yim.
White Sunday is an important part of Samoan life, whether living on their ancestral lands, or part of the Pacific Island diaspora. This book is a joyous celebration of tradition and aiga (family).
