BACKTALK: Black Children's Book Authors You Don't Know About Yet!

BACKTalk Podcast by Successful Black Parenting Magazine

BACKtalk, the talk show for Black parents with host, Janice Robinson-Celeste

Janice had an intense discussion with Carylee Carrington about Black children's books and their authors. Note: Not all Black children's books are by Black authors, so do your research.

Carylee is a children's book author, arts and literacy advocate, and host of The Read with Carylee Show. She is a proud black mom of two boys living in Nothern Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., on a mission to introduce children to diverse children's book authors and help children develop kindness and courage. It all started when her son came home upset after hearing a racist remark on the school playground in Kindergarten. Since then, she has written two books ("Everyone, Just Like Me" and "Pretty Hair") teaching children to embrace their differences and treat others with kindness. In the fall she began hosting a new literary show "The Read with Carylee Show" (available on SoulVisionTV, YouTube & Facebook) that features indie and up-and-coming children's book authors, the majority who are black, but also from a wide variety of races and backgrounds.
