All New Crafts for Kwanzaa

October 1, 2006
K-Gr 3-A new version of the authors "Crafts for Kwanzaa" (Millbrook, 1994). Some of the projects are similar to those in the older title, but the introductory Celebrating Kwanzaa, which touches on the origin of the holiday and explains that the language of Swahili is used to name the symbols, has been omitted. Careless editing includes run-on words with no spaces between them and an isolated reference to "kikombe cha umoja", whose definition appears much earlier. One cannot assume that children will read a craft book cover to cover. Additional."Susan Patron, Los Angeles Public Library"
