This basic craft book provides a brief explanation of the origins, principles, and symbols of the holiday and then offers eight projects ranging from a kinara pop-up card to an African-style hat to the ubiquitous woven mat. The crafts are attractive and easy to make with adult help, and they use common supplies like construction paper, tissue paper, markers, scissors, and glue. Reproducible patterns are included and must be enlarged on a copier. A chart that is supposed to show the symbols of Kwanzaa mistakenly calls them "principles" and misspells Kwanzaa.-Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library
