Seven Spools of Thread by Angela Shelf Medearis

Magnificent and inspiring linoleum block prints by Daniel Minter bring joy to this Kwanzaa celebration. 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. If they fail, they will be turned out as beggars. When their father dies, he leaves an unusual will: by sundown, the brothers must make gold out of seven spools of thread.
