I Don't Think There Is A Better Kwanzaa Book.

I have been looking for a good Kwanzaa book but they are hard to find. Most go through the days laboriously or have some cheesy made-up story that no one cares about as filler. This book is great in the way it is written and how it states the purpose of Kwanzaa and the belief behind it. It sends a much better message about Kwanzaa and how it came to be than other books do. I definitely would recommend this book to many of my students especially my students from African countries.
