Review by School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 2--Beloved character Yasmin is back with this series focusing on celebrations and holidays including 100 days of School, the Muslim holiday Eid-al-Adha, Indigenous Peoples' Day, and Juneteenth. Back matter includes further facts and information, an occasional craft tutorial or recipe, and a "Chat with Yasmine," in which she asks the reader to think about their own experience with the holiday or celebration featured. Like the previous volumes in this series, the bright, welcoming illustrations and level-appropriate prose and information make these texts ideal for classrooms and public libraries, particularly those looking for a more diverse representation of holidays. VERDICT Recommended for purchase in all collections.
