“Black Children’s Book Week is a global celebration of Black children and the people who ensure Black children are represented in books and other children’s media.

The week is administered by Black Baby Books, a platform that makes it easier to discover children’s books with Black characters. 

We invite everyone to join the celebration: parents, guardians, authors, illustrators, publishers, educators, librarians, business people, community advocates, and other advocates for Black children.

Black Children’s Book Week starts on the last Sunday in February every year. Review our Celebration Checklist for ways to get involved!”

Check out I Am Everything featured in the Virtual Museum of full of children’s books with Black protagonists throughout the entire year until 2026’s Black Children’s Book Week!
