Black History Books for Kids

January 10, 2020 by Mommy Evolution Leave a Comment

From classrooms teaching Black History Month to parents reading with their own children, these black history books for kids will inspire your kids and expand their world.

America celebrates Black History Month every February.

But I encourage you to read these books throughout the year.

Whether you’re a school teacher or a parent, by weaving these books into your classrooms or lives throughout the year, you send a strong message to your children that black history matters.

As the mom of two boys, I felt compelled to read them stories they might not otherwise come across in school.

I wanted them to hear stories from all the threads of American society. 

So often the African American experience is glossed over in school, ultimately minimizing that history.

It’s important we bring the voices of minorities to our kids or they will never truly understand how America became what it is today or where it needs to go tomorrow.
