Your Black Is Beautiful

How culturally responsive and diverse is your child’s library? Educators and parents should read stories to their children with characters that look like them to help build their self-esteem and validate their lives. Introducing Elizabeth Baker! This story is about a little girl who shares her anxieties about starting her first day of school. Although her mama has taught her to appreciate her natural beauty, Elizabeth still has some insecurities that other girls who look like her may have experienced. With over fifty sight words included, the author sets out to show how there is nothing more extraordinary than when a child embraces their diversities and celebrates their God-given beauty.
