"The Story Behind Kwanzaa" by Melissa Raé Shofner explores the origins and significance of the Kwanzaa holiday. Through engaging storytelling and vibrant illustrations, the book highlights the seven principles of Kwanzaa—unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. It teaches readers about the historical context of Kwanzaa, founded by Dr. Maulana Karenga in 1966, to celebrate African American culture and heritage. The narrative encourages family bonding and community involvement, emphasizing the importance of cultural pride and traditions in fostering a sense of belonging and identity.
