Book 4: Freewater by Amina Luqman-Dawson. A middle grade title, and Newbery winner, for all ages. It’s about two enslaved children who escape and find a freedom community in a deep southern swamp. Full of inspiration and heart. #Edusky #Books #Booksky - ThreadSky

I loved this one.

Book 5: The Prophets by Robert Jones Jr. The writing. Oh, the writing! A gorgeously-written story of jealousy, but more importantly, Black queer love. A love that is so pure and tender, the reader can’t help to root for Samuel and Isaiah.

Book 6: Black Boy Joy, edited by Kwame Mbalia. Here are 17 stories centering around Black characters written by some of the best Black authors of today. Right now, we need every bit of joy we can muster up, and this book will show readers how to find that joy for themselves.

Book 7: Let Us Descend by Jesmyn Ward. Honestly, every book—every piece of writing—by Ward is incredible and thought provoking. This is her latest, and thus my current favorite.

Book 8: For Every One by Jason Reynolds. It literally is. A letter—through poems—for every single person. We all need this book.

Book 9: Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut by Derrick Barnes and Gordon C. James. What a writer and illustrator combo! The words sing and the images pop off the page! This title may be promoted as a children’s book, but it will bring joy to all readers. A forever favorite for me.

Book 10: We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance by @kcarterjackson.bsky.social Jackson, a professor of Africana studies at Wellesley College, blends together often-hidden Black history with her own family’s history. Her tone is one that will teach and inspire.
