A book about the holidays that doesn't mention any holidays?! That's right! It's time for a new take on the holidays, one that empowers us to come together like never before.
Let's Share a Holiday Story is a different kind of holiday book, for children and families from all walks of life!
Holidays present wonderful opportunities to teach kids more about diversity and inclusion. A Holiday Story is about recognizing and accepting the wide range of celebrations among communities and individuals alike. What makes it unique is that it focuses on feelings and behaviors associated with inclusion as a whole, as opposed to specific holidays, celebrations, or observances. It can serve as a special introduction to the topic for young children, a conversation starter for older students beginning to develop research skills, and a fun, colorful, inclusive way to connect at any age or stage.
Part of the inclusive Let's Share social and emotional wellness series, A Holiday Story opens eyes, minds, and hearts while inviting readers to learn more about each other. This memorable gift is perfect for everyone:
Whatever you celebrate, or traditions you create...
If known by many, or hardly any...
Whether you observe one, some, or even none...
It's all about love!
