I've grown increasingly frustrated at receiving copy after copy of The Snowy Day, when I know there is a huge range of amazing children's literature featuring children of color. This site is meant to offer suggestions for books that our family enjoys (let's face it, there are a lot of bad books out there). And to save the masses from endless copies of The Snowy Day.

Hallelujah! A Christmas Celebration, by W. Nikola-Lisa
A brief, lyrical retelling of the Christmas story featuring a black Mary and Joseph and, repeatedly emphasized, a black baby Jesus. I suspect that the bright, simple illustrations and poetic text appeal more to adults (in our case, my 5 year old listened impatiently and tossed the book aside when we were done), but it really depends on your child - may work best for younger children.
