Black History is American History and should be taught year-round. I work hard to read books featuring diverse characters to my students and to have such books accessible to them at all times in my classroom library. However, during the month of February, officially named Black History Month, I think we all would do well to make a conscious effort of reading such books in our classrooms. Here are some of my favorites:
 | ||
| Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly |
 |
| Henry's Freedom Box by Ellen Levine |
 | |
| The Youngest Marcher by Cynthia Levinson |
 | |||
| Martin's Big Words by Doreen Rappaport | |
 |
| Radiant Child: The Story of Young Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat by Javaka Steptoe |
 |
| Aunt Harriet's Underground Railroad in the Sky by Faith Ringgold |
 |

 |

I would love to hear your favorite Black History read alouds for early elementary!
Keep teaching with heart and passion!
