I'm straying from my mission and recommending this engrossing, surprising novel by Ayobami Adebayo (between her and Chimanmanda Ngozi Adichie, Nigerian authors are killing it lately). Stay With Me traces a relationship through marriage, infertility, adultery, polygamy, and death from both a husband and wife's point of view. I read the entire book in one day (and ended the book in tears) and I'd recommend Stay With Me for your bookshelf - I checked mine out of the local library but just put it on my Christmas list.
BUY HERE
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.
