Celebrating Black joy

Though it is important for young readers to understand the history and complexity of oppression, racism, and discrimination, children of colour deserve to see themselves thrive and experience the joy of being part of a loving community. These books reflect the daily lives of children and the joy of play, family and friends, and being themselves.
