The Joys of Being a Little Black Boy

By: Reynolds, Valerie

The Joys of Being a Little Black Boy is a vividly illustrated children's book that brings to life Roy, a joyful Black boy.

Roy takes young readers on a upbeat journey through history to meet some of the world's most notable Black men--heroes who were each, at one time, a young Black boy. Teaching young children not only about these great men and moments in history but also pride and self-respect, The Joys of Being a Little Black Boy brings necessary representation to children's bookshelves in a colorful and charming way.

A guide included at the end helps adults delve into further stories, resources, and discussions on these figures of Black history and the joys of being part of that lineage.
