THE DECEMBER WE SHARE: A Story About Celebrating Together While Staying True to Ourselves
Finally-a December book that honors ALL children, including those who don't celebrate holidays at all.
Are you searching for a multicultural children's book that goes beyond token representation? The December We Share is the inclusive holiday book educators and families have been desperately needing.
WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK DIFFERENT:
Unlike typical diversity books for kids that assume "everyone celebrates something," this groundbreaking story centers non-celebrants alongside children from various traditions-giving them equal importance and belonging. When Noah (a Jehovah's Witness) and Aisha (from a secular family) worry about fitting in during December, their classmates discover something profound: inclusion means offering choices, not requiring participation.
YOUR CHILD WILL MEET:
✨ Maya, who shares Hanukkah's miracle and teaches dreidel games ✨ Chen, who explains the Christian nativity story ✨ Marcus and Destiny, who introduce Kwanzaa's seven principles ✨ Suki, who shows how Buddhists celebrate Bodhi Day with meditation ✨ Luna, who brings the Mexican tradition of Las Posadas to life ✨ Raj, who celebrates Diwali but has special December video-call traditions ✨ Noah, who doesn't celebrate holidays but finds belonging through friendship ✨ Aisha, whose secular family focuses on kindness every day
