Description
A guide to the origins, principles, symbols, and celebration of the African-American holiday. Popular author and illustrator Dolores Johnson has fashioned an attractive and easy-to-follow guide to celebrating Kwanzaa, a holiday created in 1966 which celebrates the African American people, their heritage, and culture. Johnson explains what Kwanzaa is, how it came to be, and details its principles and symbols. She includes an extensive craft and recipe section with instructions and diagrams for making everything from the seven symbols, to gifts for family and friends, to a scrumptious meal for the Kwanzaa Karamu. She invites young readers to actively participate in the festivities, and offers guidance and suggestions on how they and their families might create their own special Kwanzaa celebration. A book that children and parents will reach for year after year.
