Mami, tati, co je to ten Halloween?

Halloween – it's all about pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, ghosts and bats. But do children from different cultures understand why Halloween is celebrated? Our book explains the origins of Halloween traditions so that all children – little and big – can understand. It also talks about traditional Czech holidays, like All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. The publication fosters a better understanding of old and new Czech traditions and thus supports the socio-cultural integration of children from different cultures.
