Santa’s Kwanzaa

Written by Garen Eileen Thomas
Illustrated by Guy Francis

After leaving the last Christmas gift, the black Santa shimmies up the last chimney and heads back to the North Pole with Rudolph leading the way. Once he gets settled in at home, Santa Kwaz, his wife, and seven elves, whose names are those of the seven principles of African heritage, begin their Kwanzaa celebration! Read more >>
