"A brightly illustrated book that celebrates the traditions of Kwanzaa for the littlest readers." -- School Library Journal * 9/1/24 * "...this text also encourages readers to reflect on their own ways to honor the traditions and carry them throughout the year. Cheerful, upbeat illustrations feature multigenerational characters with traditional dress and food that complement the African heritage of the holiday. The bold graphics are a perfect match for the simplicity of the text, making for an excellent introduction to Kwanzaa for children." -- School Library Journal * 9/1/24 * "An overdue, modernized approach to Kwanzaa that informs young people about this holiday in easily understood text with relatable, engaging illustrations." -- School Library Journal * 9/1/24 *More details
