The Talk ~ Alicia D. Williams
This beautifully illustrated book definitely hits home. With four boys of my own, I completely understand and have given “the talk” more times than I would like.
Racism
All Because You Matter ~ Tami Charles
With beautiful petal-shaped collage artwork, this is an open letter from a mother to her son letting him know that he matters.
The Soccer Fence ~ Phil Bildner
Hector watched from outside the fence as the white boys played soccer. Separated by the rules of apartheid, Hector did not play soccer with the boys on the other side of the fence until years later after apartheid had crumbled and Nelson Mandela became president of South Africa.
Black Jack ~ Charles R. Smith Jr.
This rhyming story is about the life of Arthur John Johnson, the world's first black heavyweight champion.
