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!

I Got the Rhythm

I Got the Rhythm - Consuela Morrison, Frank Morrison

(Schofield-Morrison & Morrison, 2014)

Note: On a simple trip to the park, the joy of music overtakes a mother and daughter. The little girl hears a rhythm coming from the world around her— from butterflies, to street performers, to ice cream sellers everything is musical! She sniffs, snaps, and shakes her way into the heart of the beat, finally busting out in an impromptu dance, which all the kids join in on! Award-winning illustrator Frank Morrison and Connie Schofield-Morrison, capture the beat of the street, to create a rollicking read that will get any kid in the mood to boogie.
