📚 A STORY ABOUT AFIYA -James Berry, Illust Anna Cunha
☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas A stunningly beautiful book. Poetic and it kind of sticks with you *ba-dum-cha*! (You'll get it once you read the book). I do feel like it's more worthy of a secondary education classroom lesson on metaphors but still earns it's spot as a children's picture book. #kidlit #readingrecommendations

📚 SMOKY NIGHT -Eve Bunting, Illust David Diaz
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas I am more of a light-hearted soul, but this book is important even in it's childlike simplicity. It's a great way to address serious issues (riots, racism, kindness) with your littles. Another bonus is the unique illustration/photography. #kidlit #readingrecommendations 📚 JUST LIKE ME -Vanessa Brantly-Newton
☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas A collection of poems that I wish I could share with every little girl, young woman, and older woman. The rhythm of most of the book is not my own personal preference, but I admit to being very moved by a page or two. There is something for everyone in this well illustrated book! #kidlit #readingrecommendations 📚 THE MOON OVER STAR -Dianna Hutts Aston, Illust. Jerry Pinkney
☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas The day of the moon-landing as seen through a dreaming country girl. It's rich and vivid. I felt the emotion of that day through 8yo Mae's eyes. Lovely read! #kidlit #recommendedreading 📚 BEDTIME BONNET -Nancy Redd, Illust Nneka Myers
☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas You need to read it once. Especially if you're not Black. It will be a staple in my home however, with many rereads. A cute, simple, kid-friendly way to add some understanding to a cultural thing. #kidlit #recommendedreading 📚 BROWN SUGAR BABE -Charlotte Watson Sherman, illust Akem
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas Maybe I love this one because I love my little ones. As a child, I'd associated the color brown with chocolate and was mildly insulted when others' association was poop. Brown is so much more! This book paints such a beautiful picture of the color. What do you think of with the color brown? #kidlit #recommendedreading |
