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!
A chair for my Mother
(Williams, 1998)
Note: Acclaimed author/illustrator Vera Williams tells of a young girl, who along with her waitress mother, saves coins in a big jar in hopes that they can someday buy a big, new, comfortable chair for their apartment, the kind of chair her mother deserves after being on her feet all day in the Blue Tile Diner. Into the jar also goes the money Grandma saves whenever she gets a bargain at the market.
