A collaboration with a teacher from TUSD on how to best serve the African-American students by encouraging them to read more led to the idea of making a reading list of books by and featuring people like them. The reading lists are of books with characters who are African-American or are written by African-American authors and then divided by school grade levels.
These amazing titles are not only good for suggested class reading but for the pure fun and joy of reading for all people!
For further reading see the lists below:
Books with Black characters or written by Black authors.
