Synopsis
More than eighty holiday and seasonal poems!
Holidays abound throughout the year, from Thanksgiving and Christmas, Passover and Ramadan, to Martin Luther King Day and Chinese New Year. But these are just a sampling of holidays―there's also Earth Day, Memorial Day, and Teacher Appreciation Day, to name a few. This joyous poetry collection features more than eighty poems about the many holidays celebrated throughout the year. It also highlights the four seasons and the exciting changes they bring.
Jenny Whitehead's inventive poems and child-friendly illustrations make this an impressive collection to be enjoyed all year long.
Holiday Stew is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

From Booklist
The subtitle serves up the contents of these 80-some poems illustrated with gouache-and-pen doodles, similar to Whitehead's Lunch Box Mail (2001). Divided into seasons, the poems cover traditional holidays and lesser-celebrated ones, like Flag Day, Friendship Day, Daylight Savings Time, Teacher Appreciation Day, plus cultural and religious holidays, such as Ramadan, Rosh Hashanah, Chinese New Year, and Kwanzaa. The sometimes offbeat rhythms are redeemed by the consistent child's point of view. "A Long-Distance Connection—Phone call hugs, / Fridge photo smiles, / Traveling for miles and miles; / In a car, letter, or thought—/ Nana visits me a lot!" Though the text layout echoes the occasion ("Camp-A-Lot" is a letter tacked to a bulletin board; "It's Hanukkah" curves the type along the lines of a menorah), the crowded page design curdles the stew, losing some of the whimsical flavor in the details and side comments. The poems, however, which vary in length from two lines to six stanzas, will be a boon to teachers and librarians. Cummins, Julie
