Kwanzaa

“Kwanzaa gets it’s name from an ancient harvest festival. The name means “first fruits” in Swahili.”

Children are naturally curious about why some days are “special” — why we eat (or don’t eat!) certain foods, why some days are marked with parades and parties while others are honored with quiet respect... This fact-filled book explores the history and significance of one holiday, observance, festival, or celebration with engaging photos, simple text, and a related activity, recipe, or craft. Designed for beginning readers and enjoyed by all ages! Paperback, 32 pages.
