It's the start of #BlackHistoryMonth & one way you It's the start of #BlackHistoryMonth & one way you can support diverse books and ensuring that we continue to have Black creatives in publishing is by reading, recommending, sharing, reviewing, and purchasing their books. And if sharing read aloud videos, please seek out ones that abide by copyright and don't take away from their ability to earn an income from their writing & art.
Due to committee commitments this year, I can't post about 2025 books, but I can share my resource from last year. This Virtual Picture Book Read Aloud Library is a Google Slideshow covering 233 titles, in 7 categories, with book covers linking directly to copyright-compliant video read alouds of recommended picture books. 
Categories include:
(a purposeful, intentional start with positive portrayals)
Black Joy & Magic
Families
Natural Hair
Empowering Stories
Black History
Excellence / Innovators / History Makers (Biographies)
Racial / Community Awareness
Use for February and any month!
