WOW! 38 Ethnic Planners for Lifelong Holidays & Celebrations

At last, a book that surpasses information on the joys of Kwanzaa and Black History Month and shows us how to incorporate our heritage into every celebration and holiday throughout life--all year long. My favorite planners--the Mamato Baby Shower, ethnic birthday parties, cultural weddings, adolescent rites-of-passage, and family reunions. The best part: it's a feel-good book with cultural love flowing from every page.

I thought that the book was extremely creative ans exciting.

I thought that the book has some really good ideas to spice up tradional celebrations. It was also interesting to know the history of the celebrations.
