Excerpt

In THE GAMES OF OLYMPUS, Martin will show Karilou, Bruce, Maryfer, and Alphonse the traditions of the Olympic Games.

This book about the traditions of the Olympic Games is a special edition from Traditions of the World for all children.

What do you know about the Olympic Games and its traditions? 

The story begins with Doty, our lovely storyteller.

Bruce takes VR goggles for everyone, and Martin, the robot, shows up. They are ready to go through the many traditions of the Olympics. First, Martin uses virtual reality to travel to an ancient Greek stadium; then, he’ll use holograms to go from the ceremony to the creation of the Olympic Fire to the culmination of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Martin will use virtual reality and holograms to tell you everything about the Olympic Games and its many traditions.

After learning about the Games, perhaps you’ll realize, like Karilou, Bruce, Marifer, and Alphonse, that with determination, discipline, and perseverance, you, too, could become an Olympic athlete.

Join them on this fantastic adventure through traditions from 2,000 years ago. Some of them remain intact, and many new ones have been added. Because, yes! The Olympic Games began 2,000 years ago and have been the quintessential emblem of world peace ever since.

Did you know that skateboarding became an Olympic sport? Awesome! Isn’t it?

What is your favorite Olympic sport? Enjoy it with Martin, Doty, Karilou, Bruce, and their friends Maryfer and Alphonse.
