Black Child Shining!
REVIEWS
“
I really enjoyed the book - [Dr. Bryant] did an excellent job blending rhyme, vocabulary, and positive messages. I can't wait to see them cataloged [at our library]. I think they will get checked out a lot!
“
My 1st grader and I read together and she did most of the reading. Excellent illustrations. Great selection of character words. Written in first person so it is affirming. My children and I say daily affirmations and we will be using Black Girl Shining as a resource.
“
My son opened the book and said, "Is that meee? He looks just like me. A lawyer? That's what I want to be when I grow up!"
