Gr 2–5—A creative series that focuses on crafts across different cultures and the four seasons. A table of contents shows each section is about two pages long. Color blocked pages with contrasting color text accompanies pictures, with fun fact bubbles that appear throughout: "Bissap is a hibiscus drink popular in the West African country Senegal." Each title starts with what season is being discussed followed by basic supplies and crafting tips. Each title includes 12 crafts that correspond with the season, whether holiday, monthly observance, or historical day of remembrance. A short description of the celebration is given, why the craft was chosen, and then the craft instructions with pictures examples are shown. The back matter only includes reading more and internet sites. While more information about the cultural celebration would be appriciated, the craft is a fun connection to something that happens around the globe. VERDICT A supplement to other texts about historical, religious, and cultural events.
