I have used the paperback copy for the past two years during Kwanzaa. Each year I find something I missed before. It is the best book for all ages on the subjects. It tells you everything you want to know.

This is another great reference source by Riley. She writes and tells everything about the holdiay that anyone needs to know. The book is organized in such a way that you can read a section, gain information, put it down and come back for more. I love this book and the cover is beautiful.

The book provides some good background information on Kwanzaa, there are only a few sources of information on Kwanzaa. Thus, it presented information that many families will find helpful in learning about Kwanzaa. Yet, I thought the book would go further into depth on the history of each principle. In that respect, the book didn't fulfill my expectations. Yet, the book does give stories that represent each principle, as well as a wealth of recipes. More importantly, the book does make you question are you doing what you love in life.The Kwanzaa Coloring Book

This is a good book to give people who are sincerely curious about Kwanzaa--but would (for various reasons) feel uncomfortable learning about it bookwise from something which is geared towards only kids.

So many other explaination books I've come across were only for kids. And that's a missed opportunity for bringing people together.

After having attended a Kwanzaa celebration while enrolled in college, I wanted to explain this celebration to friends and family members. But I hadn't found anything which was inclusive of older readers--and my experience/perspective---until now.

Kwanzaa is based on the universal principals of the Creator God and these principles are the part of every person's life, regardless of their culture or ethnicity.
