"Brown Like Me" Books
Books for Kids Featuring Black Characters
I absolutely love this book! It features 40+ African American women who made huge strides throughout history. The pages are filled with adorable illustrations and biographical text for the bold women in Black history!
What a fun toe-tapping rhythmic story about a young boy and his auntie. "Struttin' with Auntie Nina down to a club. We're gonna hear some music and then eat some grub."
The story of Ella Fitzgerald's musical career is told from the perspective of Scat Cat Monroe. The unlikely story-teller (a cat) tells how Fitzgerald started out as an aspiring dancer, but went on to sing at the Savoy with artists like Dizzy Gillespie.
From the "Little People, Big Dreams" book series, this book highlights the life of jazz great, Ella Fitzgerald, the "First Lady of Song."
