This is one of my assignment questions:

Use the library to select a picture book or resource a fresh idea to make your experience stimulating. You need to use the 2 topics below.
1. Pick a language experience that can be used to build understandings of a different language or cultural group.
2. Pick a language experience that can be used to explore or promote enjoyment of a special occasion

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on books that I might be able to use, or just any ideas in general that might be helpful for this?

Thanks to anyone who can help out

how about this for a book?

There are lots of dreamtime books that are good. There is one called how the birds got their colours. It is a very colourful (surprisingly!!) book that could lead on to a great art experience.
For a language experience for a special occasion, how about teaching different songs that relate to the special occasion?
Just some ideas

Sorry for the late reply. Thankyou all so much for the help I really do appreciate it. I found that book you mentioned, the kids loved it, especially the song idea. Would have been lost without your help
