A Must Have!

Toussaint does a great job of covering a variety of types of children's books which highlight the African American experience. I especially appreciated the conversational language, and practical tips for making the books come alive in children's minds. What a great idea! This is a must have for all those interested in presenting empowering, positive, affirming books about African Americans. Not only for African American parents should have this, but everyone can benefit from this useful resource. Ive been looking like something like this for a while --- Thanks Toussaint!
