Celebrating through Books

February is Black History Month, a time to explore and celebrate the history of African Americans in our country. One of the blogs on my radar is The Brown Bookshelf, which hosts the super 28 Days Later project, a great way to celebrate the month through kids' literature.

Each day in the month of February, the blog features an African American author or illustrator "to make more people aware of the rich selection of children's books by and about African Americans" (from their Press Release). Check out the line up for this year and of course, stop by your library to check out the books!
