This book describes the origins and practices of Kwanzaa, the seven-day festival during which people of African descent rejoice in their ancestral values. The Swahili word means "first fruits of the harvest", and for each day of Kwanzaa, a new candle is lit from December 26 to January 1.
Includes bibliographical references (colophon).
Text and illustrations within decorative borders.
"The full-color artwork was prepared using scratchboard, a technique that requires a white board covered in black ink. The ink is then scraped off with a sharp tool to reveal the white, which is painted over with oil pastels"--Title page verso
