Review Highlights: "Happy Happy Kwanzaa" "There couldn't
be a better way to teach children about Kwanzaa's values...A fabulous
song
and an original story present and explain the basic principles
of Kwanzaa. The catchy song will have the whole family singing
and dancing to the chorus after the first few lines." "This exceptional gift set
emphasizes that Kwanzaa can be celebrated by everyone. The tape's
inspiration is two-fold: first featuring a song that educates
the listener about the holiday's seven principals...then on side
two there is an original story narrated by Karen Malina White
(Cosby Show, Malcolm & Eddie) whose rhythmic storytelling
invites the listener to join in the festivities. Hull, a Grammy
Award Winner and Saint James, creator of the U.S. Kwanzaa Postal
Stamp and an illustrator who's awards include a Coretta Scott
King Honor, have created an entertaining and educational treasure....."
