It’s Black History Month! February is a time to celebrate past and present historical black figures that make up our rich history. Being a new mommy to a brown baby boy has placed my intentionality in overdrive. I feel that it is my duty to teach and provide resources to my child that teaches him about our history. With that being said, I have compiled a list of 20 Black History children’s books. With creating this list, it is my hope that this list will be a great resource to anyone wanting and willing to learn about the great figures in Black history.

What are your favorite reads for Black History month?
![Pictures are really worth a thousand words. [AD] Last month I introduced @triberyusa and discussed how their photo journal is the perfect way to stay connected with your loved ones. We sent this same photo journal to my grandmother (EJ’s great-grandmother) as a birthday gift. She LOVED it! My preference is to physically be with my loved ones, but Tribery makes it a little bit easier to make it through this season until we all can get together again. By using “shundra3” at checkout, you will receive 3 months free when you select the annual plan. Head on over to my stories to check out our photo journal.](https://brownmommydiary.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
