Picture Books About Black History
For children, picture books are a great way to start learning about Black leaders, activists, athletes, scientists, and more, who have shaped the world we know today. Picture books give babies, toddlers, and children of all ages the opportunity to connect with the stories through the illustrations. Plus, books are available any time so you can celebrate Black history all year round! Here are some picture books about Black history for children 0 to 6 years, as well as some simple ways to help your child further engage with the books.
