What Is Culture?

Culture is the way people live. It is the languages they speak, the clothes they wear, the foods they eat, the stories they write or tell, their art and history, the kinds of buildings they construct, the way they work and spend their free time, and the religions they follow. Culture is also music, dance, sports, customs, and traditions.

This wonderful book introduces the important aspects of culture, but it concentrates on the things that children enjoy, such as costumes, dances, holidays and celebrations, and special foods. The book promotes multiculturalism by acquainting children with one another's ways of life.
