12 Christmas Books for Black Families
I am never ready for Christmas, like NEVER. Every single December sneaks up on me. But this year we were able to compile a list of 12 great books to read to your Black children, or really any child. This list includes some books we own and others that we get from the library each December. In our house we don’t do Santa Claus, but that doesn’t keep us from reading books about him, the kids know he isn’t real, which allows for lots of laughter as we see different Santas in many of these stories. As always please leave a comment below if you think we need to add a title to our list! We hope you enjoy this time of year, and remember the TRUE reason for the season.
