It is dedicated to Malo's 4th Grade Class of 2012 at Wicklund Elementary School and to Kylie Johnson and the students of Woodside Parents Nursery School Class of 2013. Both classes were gracious enough to invite me to their respective class to speak about Kwanzaa. The book is also dedicated to all the other inquisitive little souls who are not afraid to ask the questions: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow? What? When? Who? Where? and the all-important Why?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile preparing to speak to the two classes, Malo's father discovers that Kwanzaa is more than a cultural celebration.
