Harvest Days is a story about how holidays are celebrated around the world. I would use this in my K-2nd grade classroom to read aloud to them during thanksgiving time to teach my students about what other holidays look like around the world. ( )

I love this colorful book that explores 12 different harvest festivals celebrated around the world (Liberia, South Korea, and Iran, to name a few). These festivals all give thanks for the food that sustains them and for the hands and animals responsible for growing the food.

The illustrations are magnificent! They are sure to make everyone smile. Be sure to take your time looking at each colorful spread. They reflect the foods and clothes of each culture.

The last several pages provide further information on the festivals and a timeline showing when they are observed. This is the opportunity to point out that other cultures have their version of our Thanksgiving holiday.

I received an early digital copy from the publisher. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own. ( )
