Holidays are times for creating memories and for celebrating cultural values, emotions, and social ties. \u003ci\u003eAll Together Now\u003c\/i\u003e considers holidays that are celebrated by American families: Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Halloween, and the December holidays of Christmas or Chanukah. This book shows how entire families bond at holidays, in ways that allow both children and adults to be influential within their shared interaction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The decorations, songs, special ways of dressing, and rituals carry deep significance that is viscerally felt by even young tots. Ritual has the capacity to condense a plethora of meaning into a unified metaphor such as a Christmas tree, a menorah, or the American flag. These symbols allow children and adults to co-opt the meaning of symbols in flexible and age-relevant ways, all while the symbols are still treasured and shared in common.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cindy Dell Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978801971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978801974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2019","brand":"Cindy Dell Clark","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440234803455,"sku":"9781978801974","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3523cad9-398f-4bee-96c5-3fde0e1e9292.jpg?v=1777181085","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/all-together-now-cindy-dell-clark-9781978801974","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
