It is Black History Month, and we are very excited to share some of our favorite titles that serve as great tools to remember and learn from the history and heritage of our country, not just in February but throughout the year.
Carter Reads the Newspaper
Written by Deborah Hopkinson
Illustrated by Don Tate
Each Februrary we celebrate Black History Month. It’s a time to honor heroes like harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, and Dr. Martin Luther Kind Jr. But there’s one hero we sometimes forget. Carter G. Woodson didn’t help people escape from slavery, start a bus strike, or lead a movement of millions. Yet without him, we might not have Black History Month. Born to two formerly enslaved people ten years after the end of the Civil War and encouraged to be an informed citizen by his father, Carter read the newspaper every day. Later when we went to work in the coal mines, Carter became interested in finding more information about the history of his people.
This first-ever picture book biography of Carter G. Woodson emphasizes the importance of pursuing curiosity and encouraging a hunger for knowledge of stories and histories that have not been told. Check out a copy of the teacher’s guide and download your own poster.

Dad, Jackie, and Me
Written by Myron Uhlberg
Illustrated by Colin Bootman
It is the summer of 1947 and a highly charged baseball season is underway in New York. Jackie Robinson is the new first baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers―and the first black player in Major League Baseball. A young boy listens eagerly to the Dodgers games on the radio, each day using sign language to tell his deaf father about the games. Finally one day the father delivers some big news: they are going to Ebbets Field to watch Jackie play!
A testament to how bonds can be created despite race, color, or disabilities, this touching picture book takes a nostalgic look back at 1947 and pays tribute to Jackie Robinson, who brought an entire New York community together for one magical summer.

A Storm Called Katrina
Written by Myron Uhlberg
Illustrated by Colin Bootman

Taking shelter in the already-crowded Superdome, Louis and his parents wait…and wait. Conditions continue to worsen and when Daddy fails to return from a scouting mission within the Dome, Louis knows it’s up to him to find his father―with the help of his prized cornet.
This sensitively portrayed fictional story based on the real events of Hurricane Katrina highlights resilience and hope of the people who were affected by the tragedy in New Orleans. Find the teacher’s guide here.

Nevertheless, it’s all carried out with tongues rooted solidly in cheeks, and everybody has got nothing but absolutely love for their friendly neighborhood scapegoat. In reality, he is not merely a pushover. He is simply that extraordinary breed of person solid enough to take all that good natured ribbing for what it really is.
