African American culture is uniquely rich in tradition, pain and fortitude. Created to endure, balm and connect with ancestral roots across an ocean of experience and beginnings, African American stories tell tales of home, humor, trickery, spirits and wonder. Tied to the earth and the rhythm of change, African American stories beat out truths, circle families in love and understanding and guide young people through difficult histories. African Americans have indomitable strength, will, faith and promise having survived the worst atrocities born from humanity. Their stories and their leaders will forever inspire and enliven those with ears and hearts wise enough to hear.
Please find below exceptional children's books and storytellers sharing the courage, mystery and beauty of African American culture.
