African American Children's Books

Here at Books To Order, we’re proud to offer several African American children’s book titles. As everyone knows, African Americans have made many important contributions throughout US history, and we feel these contributions need to be recognized by children of all ages. That’s why three of our personalized books were written to honor African Americans in all walks of life.

And these African American children’s books are different in that your child or grandchild is the star of the story, their name printed right into the storyline. In our “African American Heros” book, your child is taken on a journey through time, and exposed to such important African Americans as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., George Washington Carver, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Thurgood Marshall.

In our “Kwanzaa” book, your child or grandchild is taken on a tour of an African-American fair, and taught the meaning of Kwanzaa as an important American holiday. The meaning of the red, black and green Mkeka mat is also explained, along with Kwanzaa’s seven guiding principles, and its history and African heritage.

We also offer an African American Santa book that makes a great Christmas present for that special child in your life. In the story, your child is transported to the North Pole for a visit with Santa, who helps them make a special Christmas wish.

In addition to teaching kids about important figures in history, our African American children’s books are also important tools to help children read and learn at an early age. Studies have shown that kids who learn to read in their pre-school years, go on to do better in school, have better writing and vocabulary skills, have higher confidence and self-esteem, and go on to become more successful in life.

Children’s books are also a great way to keep youngsters occupied, and keep them engaged and interested in something other than television or video games. Many families make the bedtime story a daily ritual, and it’s a chance to spend quality time with your child and build a bond that you and your youngster will both enjoy.

So the next time you’re shopping for a gift for your child or grandchild, consider and African American children’s book. Give your child the gift of reading–-and expose them to important role models in our history–-and they’ll thank you for it for years to come.
