(3) PS Illustrated by Barry Goldberg. In this board book, Grandma Nell, Gabrielle, and Tamir commemorate Kwanzaa with their friend Elmo. Grandma explains the holiday is “when we celebrate our family, community, and culture.” She and the children list and explain the seven principles of the African American cultural holiday, as well as items used to celebrate, and each Swahili word is defined and written phonetically (e.g., the first principle is Umoja (“oo-MOH-ja”) or unity). Elmo’s familiar face and the bright digital illustrations will engage young children with this accessible Kwanzaa primer.
