About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overshadowed by a sibling's big personality or is struggling to find their own unique talent. Ron lives in the shadow of his confident older sister, Latrice, but as their family prepares for a Kwanzaa contest, he discovers that his quiet skill for making things with his hands is just as valuable as her outgoing spirit. This early chapter book beautifully weaves together themes of self-discovery and family pride through the lens of Kwanzaa traditions. It is perfectly suited for 7 to 9 year olds who are transitioning to longer stories. It offers a gentle way to discuss how different personalities contribute to a family's strength while providing a clear, accessible introduction to the Nguzo Saba (the Seven Principles).
