Wesak (Celebrations)
Authors: Anita Ganeri
Synopsis: One of a series that takes major
celebrations from the six main religions and looks at them in more
detail. The books explore the history behind the celebration - how the
festival came about, the story behind the festival and the traditional
and modern ways of celebrating it. The series aims to help children
appreciate the range of national, regional, religious and ethnic
identities in the United Kingdom. Each book explores why people observe
the festival today; covers the special clothes, food and songs
associated with it; discusses other rituals connected to the
celebration; and provides simple craft ideas.
