Celebrate diverse cultures while highlighting how expressions of joy and connection are all part of the human experience.

Whether counting down on December 31st or hanging lanterns for the Lunar New Year, people around the world celebrate each new year. In New Years Around the World, readers will explore the customs and traditions surrounding these New Year celebrations:

  • New Year's Eve in the United States
  • Réveillon in Brazil
  • Tet in Vietnam
  • Hogmanay in Scotland

  • The How the World Celebrates series offers readers the chance to explore celebrations like never before, taking a journey around the globe to see how young people experience important celebrations in their lives and the lives of their family and community. Through the lens of young people from around the world, one from the United States, and three others from places across the globe, readers will experience the excitement and joy of cultural and community traditions that bring people together.

    This narrative nonfiction series uses considerate text that is written at a higher maturity level with a lower reading level to engage and accommodate struggling readers and includes sidebars that support geography, world history, and world cultures curriculum.
