Overview
Where did the tradition of candles on birthday cakes begin? What happens on a Hindu child's first birthday? When is Guru Nanak's birthday and where is it celebrated? This book explores how different cultures celebrate both individual birthdays and communal ones, such as the anniversary of a country gaining independence. It explains how the song "Happy Birthday" first came about and looks at traditional stories, such as Germany's Birthday Man and La Befana of Italy. Popular cultural celebrations are also included, such as the piñata party in Mexico.
