This cute children's story was very well illustrated with beautiful attention to detail when it comes to describing the different holidays that come and go each year.

I really liked the simplicity of this book. It provided colorful pictures and kid-friendly rhyming and repetition. It introduced special holidays and familiar activities in such a way that kids could relate.
