My seven year old and I love reading books about holidays, and it was no surprise that she was eager to read this one as well! And this book proved to teach several important things, one about what Kwanza is and also what it means to be a family and the particular importance of family during the holidays. In this story Kiesha understands how special Kwanza is and how it can bring her own family together. We both enjoyed this book and have recommended it to our friends. Thank you Library thing for the opportunity to review this book! ( )
