How do children around the world celebrate summer?

Artist Description: “I love going to the beach.  I go to Cape Cod each summer. I chose to draw a picture of me fishing, because it is one of my favorite things to do. My brother, my dad, and I always enjoy going out for a day of fishing. We like fishing at 
Cape Cod, because we are able to catch big striped bass.”

“It’s my family one common day at the beach. It’s everybody’s custom to be on the beach everyday they can in summer. I chose this tradition because Cyprus is a small island with nice beaches and we all spend most of the summer time there.”
