As December ends, best friends POMP, SNOW, and CIRQUEumstance wrap up Christmas and prepare for more holidays around the world. They study the calendar and learn about different holidays, from Lunar New Year and Ramadan to Passover and St. Pat’s, as they set out to brighten holidays all year. When their gifts don’t match each day quite right, there’s only one sprite who can help: FESTINA, whose mother is Nature and father is Time. With her wisdom, knowledge, and powers, she rewinds time so the trio can celebrate each holiday’s traditions with the special care they deserve.

“This book is developmentally appropriate for this age range. Children will be entertained and will learn a little about holidays they may never have celebrated. It could lead them, their parents, and teachers to explore holidays such as the lunar new year, Passover, or Diwali more.”
“This is a great gift, and I know that my co-workers are going to be thrilled to have it added to the school library. Families will enjoy this with their children.”
