This remarkable new book from photographer and writer team Barnabas and
Anabel Kindersley captures the color and vibrancy of international
children's festivals. For 12 months, Barnabas and Anabel traveled around
the world, meeting children and talking to them about the celebrations
and festivals they enjoy. The children's stories were recorded in this
beautiful book, published in association with the United Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF). Original photography and the children's own
words bring to life many of the world's major religious and local
celebrations from countries as far apart as Japan and Mexico, India, and
Sweden. From the dazzling costumes of the Rio Carnival to the role of
the elephants in Sri Lanka's Esala Perahera, children everywhere will
love learning about the festivals and the wonderful ways in which these
events are celebrated around the world.
