African American Children Literature

Thought my search for culturally authentic African American Children Literature I have found that realistic African American literature is available but must be actively sought out!

Peter's Chair

Peter's Chair - Ezra Jack Keats

 

 

(Keats & Baybars, 1980)

Note: Peter's Chair is a 1967 children's picture book by American author and illustrator Ezra Jack Keats. Peter has a new baby sister. First his father paints Peter’s old cradle pink, then his crib. Then his parents want to paint Peter’s chair! This is a gentle and reassuring story about sibling rivalry.
