I have been building my children’s library with characters that look like them. Representation is very important and I want them to be able to relate to the characters they read about. I’ve put together a list of articles and resources that feature children’s books with Black characters.
If you’re looking for more representation in your book selections or you want to add more diverse books to your children’s library, you’re in the right place. This list should give you all of the Black girl magic and Black boy joy you came looking for!
