Celebrations Around
the World
Moon Festival—China -This day is a national
holiday in China and is celebrated in the Far
East and in Asian communities throughout the
world. It is held in the middle of the month of
September. The wheat has been gathered in
North China and the rice has been harvested in
South China. During the moon festival the
moon looks bigger, brighter, and closer to the
Earth then at any other time of the year. This
festival honors the female goddess of the moon.
Family reunions are held where presents are
exchanged and there is much feasting. One of
the main foods eaten during this festival are
moon cakes which are small round cakes filled
with things such as fruit and nuts. Severn
hundred years ago during Yuan dynasty China
was ruled by the Mongols who invaded the
country from the north.
Golden Bears Growl with GRRS
Hello Mountain View Golden Bears! I hope all of you are staying healthy and safe. 😊 This week I will be recommending three
books. One for lower grade students, one for middle grade students, and one for upper grade students. Additionally, I will be
providing some very interesting library/book facts. Which can be seen below!
Check this out:
• In the Harvard Library there are three books that are bound by human skin. The practice of binding books with human skin
dates back to the 15th century. The discussed practice is known as anthropodermic bibliopegy and was sometimes done to
memorialize the dead (Kastrenakes, 2014).
• The longest book title in existence consists of 3,777 words (Guinnessworldrecords, 2019).
• There are “Human Libraries” around the world where you can check-out humans as a living book and listen to their unique
life stories (Reader’s Digest, 2017).
Lower Grade
Book: Poor Louie
Author: Tony Fucile
Reading Level: 1.8
Poor Louie by Tony Fucile is a humorous and light-hearted Children’s book about a dog whose life is picture perfect.
However, things begin to change quickly when his owners start preparing to welcome their new baby. Hurt by the
changes that have taken place, Louie plans to run away. In the end, Louie realizes he is still loved by his family!
Middle Grade
Book: Because of Winn-Dixie
Author: Kate DiCamillo
Reading Level: 3.9
Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo is a humorous and heart-warming tale about a young girl named India Opal
who moves to Naomi, Florida with her father. A short time after moving, India Opal becomes the owner of a stray dog
named Winn-Dixie, who has a great sense of humor and a zest for life. With Winn-Dixie’s help, Opal makes some
interesting new friends and learns to let go of the pain she harbors towards her mother, who abandoned her at a young
age.
Upper Grade
Book: Where is the Great Wall?
Author: Patricia Brennan Demuth
Reading Level: 5.5
Where is the Great Wall? By Patricia Brennan Demuth belongs to the non-fiction “Where Is?” book series. Which
contains a number of books about famous sites around the world. In this particular book from the discussed series, the
author is able to tell the story of China in a captivating fashion. Specifically, details about the first empower of China, the
rise and fall of dynasties, the greatness of Chinese culture, and China’s present-day status as a communist world power
are examined. Additionally, a variety of eye-catching illustrations are included in the discussed book as well.

Week 2 Curiosity
Hispanic Heritage Month - Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage
Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contribu-
tions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central
and South America. The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under Presi-
dent Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day
period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August
17, 1988. The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniver-
sary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile cele-
brate their independence days on September 16 and September18, respec-
tively. See page 4 for authentic Golden Bear art work honoring National
Hispanic Heritage Month.
