Celebrate Kwanzaa With Children's Books

Friday December 26, 2008
Seven Spools of Thread cover art It's time to celebrate Kwanzaa! The seven principles stressed during Kwanzaa emphasize important character traits. Whether your family is looking for children's Kwanzaa books because you celebrate the African American holiday or because you are interested in learning more about it, there are a number of excellent children's Kwanzaa books available. You'll find a mix of stories, crafts, recipes, and history for a variety of ages among the children's Kwanzaa books that I recommend. If you have other children's Kwanzaa books to recommend, click on "Comments" below and share your recommendations.

As a teacher, Kwanza is one of the holidays that many of us don’t know that much about. Great list here.
