Picture Books About Black History

February is Black History Month; a month dedicated to learning about and reflecting on 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!
