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!
The Snowy Day
(Keats, 1962)
Note: Ezra Jack Keats (1916–1983) is the Caldecott Medal winning author of The Snowy Day, which broke ground in 1962 as one of the first picture books for young children to portray a realistic, multi-cultural urban setting. Since its initial publication, The Snowy Day has come to be regarded as both a children s classic and one of the most important picture books ever written/illustrated.
