What is Kwanzaa? By Phyllis Naegeli

---

¹     "What are you doing over the holiday?" Carolyn asked, as she and her friend Marita walked home from school.
 
²     "We're going to be busy!" said Marita excitedly. "We're going to observe Christmas and Kwanzaa. It's a celebration that lasts the whole vacation! Well, here's my house. I hope I see you over vacation."
 
³     "Me too," said Carolyn. "Bye, Marita."
 
⁴     For the rest of the way home, Carolyn wondered about Kwanzaa. "Mom!" she called, as she came through the door to her home.
 
⁵     "Hi, honey," Mom said, coming in to the entryway to greet her. "How was school today?"
 
⁶     "It was good," said Carolyn. "What's Kwanzaa?"
 
⁷     "Kwanzaa?" Mom replied.
 
⁸     "Yes, Kwanzaa," Carolyn answered. "Marita said she and her family are celebrating Christmas and Kwanzaa this year. Do you know what Kwanzaa is?"
 
⁹     "Not really," Mom said. "I have some time before I need to start dinner, do you want to go look on the internet with me?"
 
¹⁰     "That would be great!" Carolyn cried.
