Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Full-color spreads in Saint James's (No Mirrors in My Nana's House) signature vibrant colors and bold shapes introduce Kwanzaa's seven principles, along with its definition and pronunciation, in this engaging interactive book. Children lift the flaps to reveal how each principle is lived and celebrated. For instance, "On the fifth day of Kwanzaa we celebrate the principle of Nia (NEE-ah), which means `purpose,' " appears opposite a graduation scene. Ages 4-7.

From School Library Journal
reS-Gr 2-One or two sentences per page describe the seven days and the seven principles of Kwanzaa: "On the third day of Kwanzaa we celebrate the principle of Ujima (oo-JEE-mah), which means `working together.'" The opposite page features an illustration of a group of people and the words, "Together we know that-." Lift the flap to reveal a large structure the people have built and the words, "we can get things done." The simple statements are enforced by Saint James's flat, graphic-style illustrations that are characterized by solid blocks of color, stylized compositions, and featureless faces. An attractive teaching tool to introduce the concepts to young audiences.-S. P.
