Great Children's Book About Kwanzaa

Kayla's Brother

The book tells a story with a good plot, Khari can not come home for Kwanzaa because of a snow storm. Kayla, his younger sister, is disappointed because they have always celebrated Kwanzaa together. She uses the principles of Kwanzaa to cheer herself up, dresses in African Clothes, makes a scrap book, and sets the goal of being a scientist like her big brother. The book provides examples of how to light the candles of the Kinara on each day of Kwanzaa- Umoja (black), Kugichagulia (Red), Ujima (Green), Ujamma (Red), Nia (Green), Kuumba (Red), Imani (green.). The images will help people who celebrate Kwanzaa perform the ceremony correctly. Yet, the book does not give the correct meaning Harbi gani (What's the news)? The Kwanzaa Coloring Book
