This festive picture book celebrates the culture, community, and family at the heart of Kwanzaa's seven principlesby a two-time Coretta Scott King Award recipient. When Kanoni receives a kinara for Christmas, she begins to learn about Kwanzaa and prepare for her first celebration. That same night, her neighbor's home catches fire and burns down. Emboldened by the holiday spirit of giving, Kanoni, with her big heart, pledges to do everything she can to help her friends through this difficult ordeal. Her first Kwanzaa is full of kindness and community--just the way Kwanzaa should be. Through lyrical poems full of holiday warmth, this heartfelt picture book follows Kanoni's first Kwanzaa and highlights the many different ways to uplift its seven principles.
