Let's Celebrate: Festival Poems

Children are fascinated by traditions in different cultures and religions and this anthology celebrates the diversity of festivals around the world. Taking the reader through the year, there are poems about the lion dance in Singapore, the fishing festival in Nigeria, the doll festival in Japan and many more, as well as celebrations much loved in the UK. Useful footnotes give extra details about the festivals, making them really come to life. Poets include John Agard, Judith Nicholls, Wes Magee and Jack Prelutsky, and the collection is fully illustrated in colour and black and white.
