Celebrate Every Day With Books
It seems like everyday has some new theme to celebrate so I thought it might be fun to see what kind of interesting books I can find (new, old, or coming soon) for an everyday holiday. In fact, most days have more than one holiday!
TODAY

SUNDAY APRIL 12TH 2020
EASTER
“Easter is celebrated by many Christians to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Special church services are held, and in some countries there are processions. Christian beliefs of the holiday are coupled with pagan traditions. During pagan times there were spring festivals that celebrated the rebirth of nature—of new vegetation and young animals. This is how eggs and bunnies became associated with the holiday. The day's name is thought to have come from Eostara, also known as Ostara, who was the goddess of rebirth.” (from checkiday.com)
Just so you know I have not read most of these but the ones I pick seem the most interesting. You can probably find tons more books for each holiday but I am only going to pick two books for one holiday a day.
Let me know what you think. Do any of them seem interesting to you? Is there another book you think would be a better choice?
