Y'all we made it!! 🥳 28 days later, your lives are richer in #BlackKidLit creatives.

And we wrap up this year featuring someone who is her sister's keeper. That feels so needed, right now!

The entire #BlackKidlit landscape would be different without Bernette.

It's an honor to amplify her.

Black History Month is mere days away! It's time to dust off those books and add some new ones to the collection. ❤️💚🖤📚

28 Days Later - The Brown Bookshelf During the twenty-eight days of Black History Month, we profile a different children’s or young adult author and children’s illustrator, looking for the best new and unnoticed works by African-America...

We took the guesswork out of how to find a wide range of Black children's literature creatives and their work through our 28 Days Later initiative. An annual campaign that pays homage to #Blackkidlit vanguards and those under the radar. One stop, all the books. thebrownbookshelf.com/28-days-later/

I'm definitely going to do a starter pack for #BlackKidLit Give me a little time though. We're migrating here slowly. For those who were at #NCTE24 please follow me and make yourselves known in the comments so I can get the list started.

Back covers of two books by Paula Chase. One in shades of purple and one in teal.

Spending the day in community with #BlackKidLit = exactly what I need. Sitting next to @valeriebolling.bsky.social and Lesa Cline Ransome is feeding my soul. Check the author cam, my view from the Black Creatives Children's Book Fair at the Roxbury Branch of #BostonPublicLibrary

Other fun moments: @iamkwame4life.bsky.social walking into The Black Roundtable with his Emmy. I can't make this up. Luh you bro!😁 But also him addressing the group and confirming how strong and bonded the #Blackkidlit community is. IYKYK 3/4
