I’ll look up Pele!!! Such an exciting list of books. I’m probably going to be more excited than my kids, lol. I want to buy my books from local shops, so I’m going to look into that, too. Thanks again for these amazing titles!!!
Look, I get more excited myself lol I just listened to an audiobook called Ghost by Jason Reynolds, it’s his Track Series and I was more excited than my son 🤭
Omg- that sounds hella exciting though. Like, are they the kids, or are we, lol? I’m intrigued by Ghost by Jason Reynolds. Interesting. Let me pull out my note apps to add this one, too. lol. I love stories! This week, we read Hair Love by Matthew A. Cherry, Sulwe by Lupita Nyong’o, and Firebird by Misty Copeland.
Good to know, I’m going to check out more of his books! And yes, Firebird!!! Bun Heads is another one. They’re both by Misty Copeland.
I love that Hair Love and Sulwe are also favorites in your home!!! Your book Plátanos are love is always a favorite in our home. Every time I read it, my daughter asks for Plátanos and we enjoy them together. Lol 😂
I wish books like these had been available to me as a child. This is such important reading for our children! Do you have books about bi-racial children? I have several in my family.
I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. You’re right, we need more books that represent all children. I’m glad you enjoyed this list, please consider sharing with your community outside of this platform.
LOVE
Thanks Nubia! Glad you could check it out
Great idea to promote African books this way.
It’s always a pleasure to curate these lists. Thank you for engaging
Love this list! So many I’m still excited to read and can’t wait to share with my kids too. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Omg yesss, I need Trilingual ones, too. Hmm wondering if they sell these at a local book store.
Bookstores love to hear from patrons. If they do not have it in the store, talk to them, and they can order it for you.
Noted, thank you!! That’s what I’ll do!! 🤗💜🙏🏽
I’m glad you like this. I did see a bilingual book about Pele but I didn’t add it to the list. It was so much fun making this list
