Well, I think that you can encourage celebrations of other cultures by just comparing. You know, one thing that I do, one book that I see doing a lot for others is Salsa Stories because it talks about
this book talks about how foods that you really love bring good memories of your childhood.
And many of these foods are actually tied to celebrations. When I ask
when I pose this question to children in schools, what foods bring you a good memory of a certain day of the year, they often have something to say. And for one child maybe pupusas or pasteles.
But for another child is the turkey in Thanksgiving. For another child it might be dumplings for the Chinese New Year. So, by comparing traditions, and I think that a mother or a teacher or a librarian can actually use this book that celebrates traditions and fiestas, and compare to your own, you know, your own celebration at home, whatever that celebration is.
I mean, we live in a multicultural society, which is what makes us so rich. Why shouldn’t we profit off this?
