While this is certainly helpful for further learning, I wish that the story itself had done a better job of illuminating the Kwanzaa traditions - although it did well enough in terms of discussing the holiday with my very young class of toddlers.Ships from UK in 48 hours or less (usually same day).
In an afterword section, the author does explain more about Kwanzaa, the seven principles, and a variety of Swahili words related to the holiday. For instance, December 30th is for "nia" ("purpose"), but the text and illustrations show the boy beading necklaces with his mother and grandmother - an activity that seems better fitted to the following day's principle ("kuumba" = "creativity") in which the story goes on to have other family members come visit. But the text itself does not necessarily show the family doing something that embodies that principle. Each day of Kwanzaa is given a spread with a picture of a kinara in the lower right indicating what principle is relevant that day. The downside of this book is I feel like it doesn't do enough to explain the seven principles of Kwanzaa. Show More traditions in a way that is slightly more exciting than a dry nonfiction book.
