Wow this was beautiful, informative, lovely, etc etc.

As a non person of colour I don’t usually like reviewing books like these or books by people of colour as I don’t want to step on toes or get anything wrong.

As a White British individual I am always trying to educate myself further into history of people of colour, different ethnicities, cultures, religion, etc. This book just seemed absolutely perfect to me.

It’s an easy read, extremely child friendly and the illustrations were beautiful. I really really enjoyed the touch of adding individuals names below/alongside each illustration. It was such a quick informative read packed with lots of information. The cherry on top was the timeline and extra information at the end!

Perfect for any audience whether it be children or as a starter for older children, teenagers and adults to set them up to partake in more research and further education.

What a perfect way to introduce children to important persons and events in African American history. It is written band illustrated in an engaging way. i also liked the timeline presented. Thanks #NetGalley

As a non-American, ABC's Black History and Me is a fantastic introduction to important black historical figures, important historical events and settings on Black History beginning from the 1800s. With simple text, it explores early events such as the abolition of slavery to the civil rights movement and important milestones through black history (rights, freedoms, achievements). It also has a timeline of events at the end, with some extra info too. Everyone should keep a copy of this book at home and it is great resource for children to learn names that have become solidified throughout history.

Here is an inspirational ABC for young children. In addition to learning the alphabet, kids will learn about people, vlaues and movements that have resulted in change and better lives for many. Material at the back of the book will be helpful to those who don’t instantly recognize important trailblazers like Ruby Bridges, Rosa Parks and others. This book belongs in preschools and homes.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

ABC Black History and Me is a great introduction to historical Black figures. There are many well-known figures included, but also some less commonly featured folks like Sophia Danenberg. This would be a great launch point for a lower grade biography or research project. I also love the inclusion of a timeline at the end of the book, to help give young readers a stronger sense of time. The illustrations are adorable!

I really like these ABC books. They are little books with so much information. In this one they have the letter and word and some of the people that achieved this title. Example E is for Equality and a illustration of Ruby Bridges and her fight to get an education. I am big on my Granddaughter knowing about all cultures and races and what people had to go through and the history. This book fits that bill. At the end of the book it has some information and names so you can do further research on that person. The illustrations are pleasant in color and to look at. I recommend this book for the first part for toddlers to early elementary and both parts for later elementary.

Monyei's book should be required reading in schools everywhere. With its beautiful art and easy-to-understand language, this book teaches kids bite-size bits of vital information about Black American history. We learn about leaders from history as well as the current day. I love that this will introduce kids to many new people and concepts that can propel them to further learning. I will be buying a copy for my classroom too!

A great ABC book that focuses on Black History. Each page has a cute illustration with a different letter that represents some facet of Black History.
