“New Year Around the World” by Stefani Snee is a warm, kid-friendly exploration of New Year celebrations across the globe. The rhythm, repetition, and clear structure make it fun to read out loud to children.
This book introduces children to how different cultures welcome the New Year, using clear language and inviting illustrations that never feel overwhelming.
For nannies, “New Year Around the World” is gold. It opens the door to conversations about time zones, traditions, food, and customs — without turning storytime into a social studies class.
Nannies are constantly helping children understand abstract ideas such as time, change, and routines shifting. New Year’s can be a confusing topic that the book handles easily.
This book helps kids grasp:
• That the world is bigger than their house (and even their town)
• That people celebrate in different ways and that’s okay
• That endings and beginnings can be exciting
Reading about global traditions can spark ideas for activities, crafts, or simple conversations.
“New Year Around the World” is educational without being preachy, festive without being overwhelming, and versatile enough to fit into many different homes.
