Gr 2-4
This revision of a 1992 book presents the origins, days, symbols, principles, and activities of the Kwanzaa holiday. The text is simple and concise, remaining almost identical to the first edition, while crisp and attractive color photos replace that volume's dated and muddy visuals. This title is a useful resource for most libraries; it should certainly replace the earlier edition.-Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library
