Customs around the globe

  • Fighting racism and hostility towards strangers
  • Creates understanding for different cultures – appropriate for children, close to everyday life and affectionate
  • Does not only explain the HOW but also the WHY

A smile is universally understood – but how we eat, sleep, celebrate, believe, feel, speak, dress, all of this depends on where and how we grew up. Where do people greet each other with a kiss on the cheek? And why do people prefer to shake hands in other places?

Everyone likes celebrations, but not all of us celebrate Christmas. Who celebrates the colourful Holi festival? Why do many of us believe in a god and why does he have many different names? Who determines where and how we live?

This book provides clear answers to big questions. And children learn about other cultures without prejudices and judgment. Entertaining, warm-hearted and enlightening! This intelligent nonfiction picture book shows yet again how beautiful and enriching we people are in all our diversity.
