We try to read to our son a book every night. I’ve been building a collection of our favorite books that are great for young black boys. Each one provides a great message and will help boosts your child’s confidence. It’s so important to us to read more books that show characters that look like him. Tre and I both make efforts to give him that. Also, each book was written by a black author. Our son always gets so excited when it’s time to read, he will go right over to his bookshelf and grab the first book he sees. If you are a mom to a little black boy, I highly recommend you check out these list of books down below. I’m sure you will enjoy them.
