Nomadic families buy tea and other things they need when passing through towns, and the townspeople buy milk and wool from them. Still other families live in mud-brick houses. In some family homes, rugs and jewelry are made. Family life for some means that mommies and daddies work in the fields, while the older children care for the younger children. Here's a book with wonderful real-life photos of various types of homes around the world.
Some girls get new dolls for the day and others get their family's antique dolls to display.
Traditional rice dishes and desserts are eaten on this special day. It is lovely to see and enjoy.

The carp kites actually look like wind socks in the shape of carp fish.
