Justus' mom sent this picture of him reading The Crossover. |
This was so encouraging to hear. statistically it is more challenging to get boys to read, so when they find something that excites them it is to be celebrated. Another friend then suggested I post a booklist here. So in celebration of Black History Month I compiled a short list of books by incredible African American children's authors and illustrators.
For younger kids:
- Moses: when Harriet Tubman led her people to freedom by Carole Boston Weatherford
- Nelson Mandela by Kadir Nelson (award winning author and illustrator)
- Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold
- I Love My Hair by Natasha Tarpley (perfect our textured hair girls)
- Little Melba and Her Big Trombone by Katheryn Russell-Brown
- Knock Knock: My Dad's Dream for Me by Daniel Beaty (beautifully written and illustrated story of a boy and his father, love and loss. great for boys.)
- Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor (one of my all time favorites)
- The Crossover by Kwame Alexander (2015 Newbery Award winner)
- Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson (one of my favorite authors & this title is a 2015 Newbery Honor, 2015 Coretta Scott King award winner, & a 2014 National Book Award winner)
- Monster by Walter Dean Myers (this book is so good. for high school kids)
- Forged by Fire by Sharon Draper
- The Skin I'm In by Sharon Flake (great book. especially good for middle/high school girls)
