Day 2 of September is Black Reading Month: Back to School Tuesday

Day 2: As children and young adults are returning to school, I think it would be a good idea to feature books about children returning to school.

Book 1: The King of Kindergarten by Derrick Barnes

Book 2: the Queen of Kindergarten by Derrick Barnes

Book 3: Nana Akua Goes to School by Tricia Elam Walker

Book 4: For middle school New Kid by Jerry Craft

Book 5: For high school, The Black Kids by Christina Hammonds Reed

Book 6: Classic nonfiction title

Day 3 September is Black Reading Month/Whimsical Wednesday

Today I decided to go whimsical. I found three humorous books that should have readers smiling, chuckling, and even laughing!

Book 1: Please, Baby, Please by Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis Lee. A delightful book about the antics of the cute little baby!

Book 2: Fast Sam, Cool Clyde, and Stuff by Walter Dean Myers. The late award winning Walter Dean Myers mainly wrote about African American male characters and he nailed these characters with humor and adventure. Stuff is the new kid on the block and he makes friends and get into a few mishaps–sometimes funny sometimes serious. A good read!

Book 3: An adult book, Raymond Andrews write a dark humorous story about some interesting cousins. Good read!
