Last year, I made an effort to buy children’s books that better reflected our diverse world, including books that focused on the black experience and books that had black main characters. I don't think my kids thought much of it at the time, but ever since they started learning about the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King Jr. in school, they come home excited to tell me that something they learned about at home is now being talked about in school. For instance, after learning about Rosa Parks in class, Mazzy came home and picked up "I am Rosa Parks" to read again on her own. And just a few days ago, in Harlow's class, the kids were asked the question, “What is your favorite book?” Harlow surprised me by choosing “Martin’s Big Words” which I truly think has special meaning for her because it is both in our house and in her classroom. A similar thing happened with Henry’s Freedom Box, another book we have at home. Harlow came home from school, excited to report that she had found it in the school library. At the end of library time, each child is allowed to take out a book and keep it in their classroom for the week. When I dropped her off at school the next day, I saw that because of Harlow’s choice, Henry’s Freedom Box was now sitting on the class bookshelf, where other children could read and discover it for themselves. Obviously, being exposed to diverse books isn’t going to solve racial injustice in this world, but I think it’s an excellent place to start. In honor of Black History Month, I made a list of our favorite books about black leaders and historical events. Some immediately left a big impression on my girls. Some were ignored for months but are now being revisited with renewed interest. And some are brand new additions to our collection. Check them out at the link in my bio. If you have any other recommendations, leave them in the comments below! #mommyshortsbookclub
