This book takes you on a trip around the world to discover fun and surprising celebrations and customs, from racing in boats shaped like dragons to rolling big rounds of cheese down a hill. You’ll see how people in different countries enjoy festivals, games, and special days that might seem strange at first but are full of colour, excitement, and laughter. Along the way, you can spot each tradition on a world map and think about which ones you’d most like to try yourself.
