11 Children's Books Written by Black Authors

The beautiful thing about books is they can take you anywhere to any time period and even to different worlds. Children's books offer perspective and experience that children may otherwise never know. Adding books that highlight black characters to your child's book collection can be a huge contributor to being open and compassionate and help your children recognize that different is not bad, but beautiful.
