These selections from the History of Holidays and Festivals series (8 titles) dive into the meaning and history behind cultural and religious celebrations. For each, discrete chapters cover what the day symbolizes, its history and origin, and past and present observances. The straightforward text is supported by sidebars, graphics, charts, graphs, and full-color photos. Critical-thinking prompts encourage compare-and-contrast activities, digging deeper into topics, and writing exercises. Indigenous Peoples' Day profiles various games, celebrations, and observances, integrating historical perspective and activism for Indigenous rights (one concern: coverage essentially begins in 1492, with the arrival of Europeans). All titles include time lines, glossaries, and brief bibliographies, which should please report writers. These offer timely updates for holiday collections.
