List of Books by Black Authors to Introduce to Your Children

Anti-racism starts at home. As parents, we should be introducing our children to a wide variety of literature. Reading books that are written by Black authors is a great way to show them how to appreciate one another’s differences. Having diverse characters to connect with works wonders for social development. Children need to be taught that there are cultures and families that are different and beautiful. Here is a list of books that are fun and educational, celebrate Black culture, teach on the hardships of the Black community, and how racism is not acceptable. Here are some of our recommendations:

Books by Black authors for young children (ages 2-5)

Books for older children (ages 6-11)

Books for preteens and teenagers (12+)
