Wish: Wishing Traditions Around the World

Great book to talk about traditions around the world without having to bring in different holidays.

This is such a sweet book that my ESL students in grades K-5th enjoyed listening to. I found a unit lesson plan online that suggests the use of this book which was perfect for my school's international night celebration. I had third graders use the poems to practice fluency, 2nd graders wrote a persuasive letter to their parents asking them to adopt one of the traditions in the book, and first graders made their own wishes after a shared reading lesson with the Mexican tradition. It was a great unit to do right before winter break! I highly suggest this book for any teacher but especially ESL teachers. Enjoy!!!

I love that this author is so sweet and positive. The pictures are colorful and interesting and the rhyme flows. I especially like that they're actual Cultural wising traditions from around the world. Great book.

I haven't used this book yet for my 1st and 2nd grade reading students. I think they will like though and I bought it to give them a glimpse of other cultures around the world for their reading practice.

wonderful book..fun for a family..illustrations are wonderful.

Great story to teach traditions in the classroom. I only wish the seller included a receipt.

Beautiful illustrations!!! This book helps to build awareness of traditions around the world.

I was looking for exactly this - a multicultural books about wishes and how different countries/cultures view them. This is perfect for my needs!
