\nDid you all know that children’s book illustrator Floyd Cooper<\/a><\/strong> did a Kwanzaa stamp for the U.S. Postal Service? I did not. <\/p>\n

This is not brand-new. It was a stamp released in October of last year, but it’s new to me. I missed this last year but saw it this week. Happy surprise. So, I’m sharing it here today. <\/p>\n

Here’s<\/a><\/strong> more information about the stamp. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note for any new readers: 7-Imp\u2019s 7 Kicks is a weekly meeting ground for taking some time to reflect on Seven(ish) Exceptionally Fabulous, Beautiful, Interesting, Hilarious, or Otherwise Positive Noteworthy Things from the past week, whether book-related or not, that happened to you. New kickers are always welcome.<\/p>\n
