Do you have a special song that your family sings to you before you go to sleep. Do you have a favorite food that you only eat on a special day. When you hear that song or taste that yummy food, you get a warm, happy feeling inside. It feels like a cozy blanket wrapped all around you. I am like that feeling. I am a big, warm hug that gets passed down from grandmas and grandpas to mommies and daddies, and then to you. It's a hug made of stories and songs.

Guess what. That special hug has a name. Hello, I'm Culture. I am all the wonderful ways your family or your friends do things together. I am the yummy smell of birthday cake and the bright colors you wear for a celebration. I am the fun games you play and the special words you use to say hello. Grown-ups share me with you, just like they share a favorite toy. Every family in the whole wide world has their very own me, and each one is beautiful and fun. I can be quiet, like a bedtime story, or loud, like happy music for dancing.

I help you know who you are and where you come from. I am like a little map that shows you all the special people in your family. I also help you make new friends. When you learn about your friend’s favorite games or their family’s songs, you are sharing me. Sharing me is so much fun. I connect everyone, making the world a beautiful, bright rainbow of different ways to live and play. And just like you, I am always growing and learning new things every single day.
