Amazing stories–expanding my collection for Black History Month, and all year . . .
🧡 Diverse authors, diverse voices, diverse stories 🧡
Black History Month — these titles represent the depth desired for my instruction and learning.
These are good reads for me and good reads for my students. These books cross a range of topics, genres, and history. These books can be used in the classroom. These books can be utilized for personal reading.
I do my best to make deliberate choices to ensure a wide range of titles, authors, stories, and voices are heard/seen. Finally, I am specifically showcasing these books because I can recommend them; I have read them all and I can attest they have plenty to provide any student, any teacher, any reader.


I recently had the opportunity to visit a teacher friend in Seattle, Washington. I saw this in her classroom and first thing I thought was: Why didn’t I ever do this?
Absolutely brilliant classroom management and classroom decor–all in one. Beautiful colorful circles–one for each person in line, all forming the line the teacher wants.

Diverse literature must be meaningful. I received this for my birthday earlier in the year and it is simply amazing.
It’s too long to be read in a single sitting, especially for the younger kids, but it is full of wonderful, RAD women. It’s nonfiction, a genre not as readily utilized in the primary ages, it highlights a history not readily included, and it covers the alphabet–add this to my favorite alphabet books!
