Families around the world celebrate Christmas in different ways but with a similar spirit. In this festive rhyming book that begins with an image of Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethlehem, we meet families from Columbia, India, the Philippines, Canada, Mexico, Egypt, Ethiopia, Australia, Italy, Serbia, Argentina, Iceland, and Lebanon. Each family has its own foods and activities, but all radiate joy and love. The Canadian family has two dads, one Black and one White, along with three kids, two White and one Black. The illustrations offer plenty of fun details to pore over, and gold ink adds an extra special touch. Several pages at the end explain each country’s traditions in more detail.
