The list of Black History Month books available for this year cannot exhaust the numerous stories that exist. It only acts as a pointer to a number of titles that have captured the story of the author or character from the most enlightening perspective. Reading a book to a child introduces him or her to the incredible world of literature.
This list introduces various cultural issues and expands the understanding people have about them. Reading is also aimed at reducing the literacy gap. Adding other activities to reading creates a lasting mental image and clarifies what the child reads. Children may be guided to creating collages about the scenes read or identifying the setting described in the stories.
