Kwanzaa: Seven Days of African-American Pride

(4) K-3 Finding Out about Holidays series. Gnojewski covers the history of Kwanzaa, its celebrations in the U.S., and its roots in the harvest customs of various African countries. The text is choppy, but the attractive photos and large, clear typeface make this an accessible if bland introduction. Instructions for playing mancala, an African counting game, are included. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
