Seven Spools of Thread
Seven Spools of Thread: A Kwanzaa Story | Angela S. Medearis
12 posts | 9 read | 4 to read
In an African village live seven brothers who make family life miserable with their constant fighting. When their father dies, he leaves an unusual will: by sundown, the brothers must make gold out of seven spools of thread. If they fail, they will be turned out as beggars. Using the Nguzo Saba, or seven principals of Kwanzaa, the author has created an unforgettable story that shows how family members can pull together, for their own good and the good of the entire community. Magnificent and inspiring linoleum block prints by Daniel Minter bring joy to this Kwanzaa celebration. This is a fixed-format ebook, which preserves the design and layout of the original print book.

This is a beautifully illustrated book, and I really enjoyed the way the story is written. It's crafted so that all 7 of the principles of Kwanzaa are reflected in it's themes. It was a fun read. #Kwanzaa #Holiday

Using the Nguzo Saba, or "seven principles" of Kwanzaa, the author has created an unforgettable story that shows how family members can pull together, for their own good and the good of the entire community.

In addition to doing a lot of Christmas reading to my nieces over the past few days, they asked if we could expand to other holidays celebrated by their friends. This is the first selection of Kwanzaa books. The tagged book was a beautiful story. The principles behind the holiday are fascinating. #WinterGame #TheFilthyAnimals

Addison_Reads I read Seven Spools and really loved it. The illustrations were beautiful and I loved learning more about Kwanzaa. 4y
Come-read-with-me @Addison_Reads I didn‘t know that much about the holiday and, like you, loved learning about the holiday! 4y
