Black History Month is a great time to enlighten your children about Black culture by introducing them to some of Black history's most influential leaders and innovators. One great way is through story time. A book a night could not only teach your child about the trailblazers of the civil rights movement but also about the Harlem Renaissance or the queen of Soul music. It can also help kids embrace their skin and hair or learn that no matter how different a person is from us, we're all beautiful. Thankfully, there are more new writers of colour than ever, meaning there are more options to help educate our children. Here are 20 good books for kids to read during Black History Month.
