Seven Spools of Thread: A Kwanzaa Story by Angela Shelf
Medearis, Daniel Minter (Illustrator)
In an African village live seven brothers who make family life miserable
with their constant fighting. When their father dies, he leaves an unsual
will: by sundown, the brothers must make gold out of seven spools of
thread. If they fail, they will be turned out as beggars. This folktale
introduces children to the seven principles of Kwanzaa as well as explaining
the creation of Kente cloth. A related craft activity is found in the
appendix.
