This is a fantastic book to discuss various important people in black history including past and current struggles for justice. Even though it is an ABC book, I would not recommend for primary aged kids as it wordy and would be harder for them to understand. This is perfect for 3rd grade and up.

I really enjoyed this book. Although I am a white woman, I am trying to bring up my kids in a world where diversity is the norm. It is hard to do in a very white state, so I figured books from all situations is the best way I can do this. I expected to to be focused more on more details about events or people, but I enjoyed the format that it was.

The ABCs of Black History is a beautifully written and illustrated rhyming nonfiction book, perfect for all ages. From read alouds to individual reading and research, this book will educate and inspire students to learn even more about black history. It also includes a highly informative glossary that will continue to support student (and educator!) learning. Make sure you purchase this book for your school library!
