Today's Multicultural "Book Look" is Seven Spools of Thread by Angela Shelf Medearis, illustrated by Daniel Minter. The book reads like a folk-tale and relates to the seven principles of Kwanzaa. It is set in Ghana, Africa.
From the Jacketflap / Back Cover:
In an African village live seven brothers who make life miserable with
their constant fighting. When their father dies, he leaves an unusual
will: by sundown, the brothers must make gold out of seven spools of
thread or they will be turned out as beggars.
Praise for Seven Spools of Thread by Angela Shelf Medearis
"Well-paced, the story incorporates the Kwanzaa values without spelling them out too much."–Booklist
