Hello, Tyrone . My name is Zwadi. My name means "Gifts" in Swahili. I am a storyteller, and I'm here to tell you about a very special holiday. It is called Kwanzaa.
Have you ever heard of Kwanzaa, Tyrone ? It means "First Fruits of the Harvest". It is time to celebrate our African-American heritage and culture. We celebrate Kwanzaa from December 26th
to January 1st.
We celebrate many holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving, but Kwanzaa is special! Yes, Tyrone gifts are given, but the true meaning of Kwanzaa can be found in the good feeling that comes from learning about our past.
(…and there's much, much more!)
