🌍 What Is Kwanzaa?
Kwanzaa is a pan-African holiday created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga. Celebrated from December 26 through January 1, it focuses on the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles), including unity, self-determination, collective work, creativity, and faith.
Traditional celebrations include lighting the Kinara, sharing meals, storytelling, music, and exchanging meaningful gifts, especially books and cultural symbols.

📘 Featured Kwanzaa Book:
Read: Holidays Around the World: Celebrate Kwanzaa-- Over the course of seven days, African Americans, families, and friends come together to light the candles symbolizing their past and future — and their unity. They gather as a community to make music and to dance; to feast on harvest foods and the good things of the earth; and to exchange simple, often homemade, gifts. Readers are introduced to the symbols of the holiday, such as the Mkeka (a special placemat), Kinara (candleholder), and Kikombe Cha Umoja (unity cup). Important concepts, like the seven principles, are explained. In addition, a note from the book's consultant, aimed at parents and teachers, puts the holiday in its full cultural and historical perspective.
✨ Perfect for parents, teachers, homeschoolers, and anyone looking to learn more about Kwanzaa traditions and values.
