Discover children's books with Black characters!

Black Children's Book Week Celebration Checklist

How will you celebrate Black Children’s Book Week?

Support Black Bookstores!

While Black Baby Books makes it easier to discover children’s books with Black characters, we are a service, not a bookstore, as we do not stock books. If you have a Black bookstore in your community, please celebrate Black Children’s Book Week by supporting them. If you don’t have one near you, shop Black bookstores online!
