african american picture books

Finding African history picture books has not been easy. It's difficult to find age-appropriate literature that teaches my children about African kingdoms and other aspects of the continent's rich history, but I'm always on the lookout. I've shared several African & African American Resources for Early Modern History in the past, and I'm excited to add to add new ones to the mix.

I'm totally pumped about Juneteenth National Independence Day because our favorite community event is back in person after two years of virtual programming. I've lost track, but I believe this will be our fourth time attending the festivities at the Atlanta History Center, and it's always such an immersive experience with historical interpreters, cooking demos, special performances, activities, and more.
