Today is Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day. It’s a day that honors the courage of 6-year-old Ruby Bridges, who, in 1960, walked through a sea of protestors to integrate an all-white school in New Orleans.

This day is for anyone who believes in kindness, inclusion, and equal opportunities in education. As we walk together today, we’re walking for unity, for courage, and for a future where every child feels safe and welcomed.

Book featured: A Talk With My Teacher by @rubybridgesofficial. Illustrated by Trudy Tran. Publishing January 7, 2025 by @scholastic.

Just a reminder: You are brave. You are enough. You are your own best thing.

All the Greatness in You by @tamekafryerbrown, illustrated by @alleannaharris, is a heartfelt picture book that captures the beauty of growing up and the power of self-belief.

Told from the perspective of a mother who celebrates her son’s boundless curiosity, resilience, and strength, this story encourages kids to take on challenges; like singing a solo—knowing they have everything they need inside.

This book is great for graduations, birthdays, or any milestone moment. It’s a beautiful reminder of the greatness in all of us. #allthegreatnessinyou #tamekafryerbrown #bookbirthday #newreleasetuesday @mackidsbooks

Check out these ten newly released picture books from some incredible Black authors.

SAVE or SHARE this post or SAVE it for your next trip to the library or your local bookstore.

From beautiful tales of family, friendship, self-love, and Black joy to creative twists and turns that’ll spark any child’s imagination, these books are everything we need to see.

I’m also making it my mission to uplift adult and children’s books by Black authors because supporting Black voices and creativity goes beyond the page. It’s about creating community, legacy, and making sure our stories are heard.

Thank you to @harperkids for sending me these books for the #BlackKidLitAwards. @blackkidlitcollective
