The Children's Book of Kwanzaa

During Kwanzaa families often make homemade gifts for each other. For example, during Kwanzaa my daughters and wife painted portraits for me and I made bracelets for them. Kwanzaa encourages the making of gifts so that the family can use their natural kuumba, creativity. More than that, the gifts that I received during Kwanzaa from my offspring and spouse meant so much because they came from the heart. If you want your family to have this kind of experience, I high recommend The Children's Book of Kwanzaa. The book gives some background information on Kwanzaa and its history. Yet, the book provides so many good examples of how to make Zawadi (gifts ) that your children will be busy the entire holiday season. The Kwanzaa Coloring Book
