Henry’s Freedom Box is a terrific way to start. And it’s true… I’ve been taken off guard sometimes when reading because I’m not always prepared for some of these questions my kid throw at me — that often have complex answers. But only good has come of it.

I own each one of these books and I think your right, these are all great conversation starter books. Although when I first read Henry’s Freedom Box to my second child the first time there were so many questions that I was not as prepared to answer as I thought. It did raise questions though and we had a conversation like never before. That was the first time I seen my child take a real interest in anything. Since that book she has learned as much about slavery as she could and has even took the steps to look up our family history. So if i had to pick a great book to kick start with it would be Henry’s Freedom Box.

Great list!

I’m looking forward to checking out these books from our library. I believe books are very important to children as a way of learning. I prefer the books that teach our children history without the children knowing they are learning history. The books that are fun with beautiful photos are the ones that I look for and these books seem to be in that category.
