This month we'd like to focus on books for young people navigating life’s transitions, joys, and social challenges. Here are a few recently published lists, primarily featuring Black characters, and written by Black authors.
Take a look at the various titles, support the featured writers, and take heed of the intention to inspire and educate through story!
Together, we are guiding and informing the most effective (and engaging) literature for our Black Canadian youth and their peers. We invite you to take our brief survey by clicking the image below; your feedback and recommendations will help us with our programming and activities.
