Abstract | Weddings are unique and dynamic--each flavored differently and each with a life of its own. They celebrate specific customs, rituals, and the importance of family and culture. Always, they stir up emotions, and, on occasion, they may spin and whirl, looping out of control. For children, they may inspire romantic dreams, and provide new roles to play and the chance to dress in elegant and stylish clothes. This rite of passage allows them to preview "grownup" society and prepare for what is coming when they get older. It also enables them to reunite with cousins and friends who may live far away. Because weddings are intense, powerful, and aesthetic experiences, emotions are heightened, and all types of encounters and dramas are likely to unfold. Children will have their own observations and stories, and may enjoy sharing them. This article gives brief descriptions of several children's books that center around weddings, as well as suggestions for creative classroom activities related to the topic. (ERIC). |
