We Gather Together

Such a lovely book that's explains harvest and equinox

Great product but geared more for the American market but could use.

Very informative book on the different ways the Autumn Equinox was celebrated throughout history, and today. Well done

A kids' text, no matter how nice and photogenic, has a a linear feel to it.The first impression I had after several readings of this book was that itflowed from the storybook like descriptions of the festivals, but did nothalt suddenly for the science explanations. I think to gather kids who likeone but not the other (storybooks or science) this is a good crossover book.As a reader I liked the nostalgic illustrations. As a person who teaches andtutors second language learners, I liked the compreshensible text with vocabulary not too difficult and not overly simplified for the ESL,ELL andEFL 'world'. I especially liked the easy to understand instructions forexperiments and the recipe.Homeschoolers and tutors should find the in-book lesson plan ideas andfestival follow ups very clear and inviting to use the book as a teachingtool.As a long time resident of Japan, I had an instant memory clip of thefascination I had for moon viewing. The very early royals built moonviewing rooms in their palaces and even today their are moon viewingexcursions for the sentimal. In that ever festivaling country, thelantern and moonviewing celebrations are of the most evocative.For children rasised in the city, this is a good introduction to how foodis harvested and celebrated around the world.For parents interested in interesting ways to present diversity, it isdeligtful. I would recommend it without hesitation.

I love all the books in this series and this one is another gem

Great book - beautiful pictures. Also explains the seasons, has related craft and simple science activities at the end. Enjoyed by a 3 & 8 year old.

I’ve learned a ton from this book myself. Love the illustrations and content
