Hopefully that shall be remedied soon. Thanks for the list!!

I’m the author of a just published (in October) book titled: “Kwanzaa: From Holiday to Every Day.” It contains a resource listing of Kwanzaa books and music CDs for both children and adults. A few titles of interest for kids are: “Between Father and Son” (formerly “A Kwanzaa Fable”) by Eric Copage, “Kwanzaa Celebration: Pop-Up Book” by Nancy Williams and “It’s Kwanzaa Time!” by Linda and Clay Goss.

My book also lists hundreds of book, music and film gift suggestions, has a directory of stores and online sources for gifts and Kwanzaa-table items, a listing of public Kwanzaa celebrations to attend around the nation and an interview with the woman who hosted the very first Kwanzaa in their living room in 1966! Please ask you local bookstore to order it or visit amazon.com . And let’s model for the youth how to live these principles all year!
