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.
