30+ Children's Books to Celebrate Black History Month
Submitted by Jody Mercier on
Books have long been a key to happiness for me, and I've rarely said no to adding another tome to our collection when my kids have asked. A good book can transport you to another time and place and help you see the world through another's eyes—and it's that point that brings together this list of 30+ children's books to celebrate Black History Month.
To offer you a glimpse into my world, I'm a white mother, married to a Black man, raising three Black kids in the middle of Harlem. Many of the children's books on this list are in our own personal library, well-loved and worn from years of reading. Others are on the list because we're not quite ready for the tough topics they cover, and a few are aspirational picks we have yet to add.
