Today I Celebrate Holidays! Rose Gulferi Apak

Ali celebrates Ramadan, Adam celebrates Christmas and Ari celebrates Hanukkah. They are three best friends who share their holiday traditions and experiences with each other over a plate of cookies one afternoon. Through their eyes, Today I Celebrate! shares the boys' excitement of each morning when they wake up to celebrate their special holidays with their families. As they learn about each other's religions and traditions, they understand there are more similarities than differences.
