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!

King of Another Country

King of Another Country - Fiona French

Note: In an African village there lived a young man named Ojo. Ojo was not like the other people in the village because he never helped anyone. Ojo never said "Yes". Then one day the King of the Forest offers to make Ojo the king of another land. And Ojo learns to say "Yes". An appealing story of a selfish young man's education.
