My Brown Boy

By Leslé Honoré

Book Overview

An affirming picture book that celebrates the brilliance and power of brown and Black boys to achieve their dreams, from poet and activist Lesl Honor and #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Keturah A. Bobo.

My brown boy laughs like a song,
rhythm like rain, soft and strong.
He holds the power to be
so bold, so magically free.

Bobo come together in a joyful ode to the creativity, courage, and kindness of brown and Black boys.
