The fall equinox signals the time of year when we gather our harvests and give thanks for their bounty. With accessible, lyrical prose and vibrant illustrations, this nonfiction picture book explains the science behind autumn and the social history of harvest-time celebrations. We Gather Together presents a remarkable range of cultural traditions throughout the ages and the world, many of which have influenced our contemporary Thanksgiving holiday. Simple science activities, ideas for celebrating in school and at home, and a further reading list are included in the back of the book.
again, i love the wendy pfeffer books and have learned things from them myself. the info is kid friendly, and the illustrations are great. i recommend them to anyone interested in learning about the seasons, the origins of celebrations that follow them, and general info on the solstices/equinoxes.
