Children's Books That Highlight the Black Experience (0-5) yrs)

Black History Month isn’t the only time we read books that celebrate Black children, Black families, Black History and Black Excellence, to our children.

So as the month comes to an end, here are 7 such books I enjoy reading with my children right throughout the year. ❣️


1. Baby Goes To Market

Such a unique and vibrant story set in an African market. It teaches about kindness, community, African delicacies and customs and even counting.














2. Bippity Bop Barbershop














3. Dream Big Little One

Simple sentences about extraordinary black women who have made significant contributions to science, politics and the arts to name a few career  fields.


4. Full Full Of Love 

This book paints a picture of an intergenerational black family gathering for Sunday dinner. It's such a warm and inviting story. 


5. I Love My Hair












6. When God Made You

Such lovely poetry celebrating the black child and children in general. It's definitely one that both children and parents enjoy.



7. Whose Knees Are These?
