On October 31, 2004, New World Press, Inc. unveiled to the public its most recent publication – the Kwanzaa Coloring Book – to stores in Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Dallas, Durham (NC), Birmingham, Seattle, Greenville (NC), Greensboro (NC), Charlotte, and Burlington (NJ). Residents of these select cities welcomed the arrival of the coloring book with open arms. In other words, a new and exciting learning tool has been published to help Americans learn about Kwanzaa.
The Kwanzaa Coloring Book introduces children to the African-American holiday of Kwanzaa. The coloring book is a rare publication; there is less than a handful of the Kwanzaa coloring books in print. Moreover, it allows African-American children to learn about their heritage and helps children around the world to develop an appreciation for the African culture.
