Representing Black Girl Magic with Contemporary Picture Books
About this book
Representing Black Girl Magic with Contemporary Picture Books explores how contemporary, culturally relevant, and responsive picture books can provide educators with a chance to teach about race and racism in the classroom. A wave of recently published picture books by Black women authors have pushed back against negative beliefs, countered negative stereotypes, and celebrated the joy and magic of Black girls and their families. Featuring the voices and perspectives of over two dozen Black women writers, in this book, Raphael Rogers examines how and why these publications are changing the picture book and the educational landscape.
With sections on classroom connections and discussion questions in every chapter, this book is ideal for courses on teaching children's literature and diversity in children's literature.
