Fia and the Butterfly
Seven Stories for Character Education

The aim of the book is to entertain and instruct children, youth, and those who care for them in the principles - or values - that we celebrate during the 7-day cultural holiday of Kwanzaa from December 26th through January 1st of each year. It is my belief that these values, based on the lifeways of traditional Africa, can serve as daily guides as we strive to maintain our faith, to build our communities, and to make things better for future generations.
