I especially liked the histories of the holidays, most of which are still celebrated in some form today. In the spring there's the Japanese holiday of Shumbun-no-hi, where people visit the graves of their family members and have picnics; Tu b'Shevat, Purim, and Passover for Jews; Easter for Christians; and April Fools' Day, which apparently dates to when France made January 1 the start of the new year instead of April 1, but some people refused to change and were called "April fools" and given silly gifts like a bouquet of onion plants instead of flowers. There's a lot of information, but they're big pages with large illustrations, so it isn't overwhelming. ( )
