My charge to parents and caregivers is a simple one: listen to your children, encourage them as well as promote their reading and literacy skills. Lauren Wells, Chief Education Officer, City of Newark who offers us tips on how we can foster and promote reading and literacy among our children.Īs the President and Co-Founder of GrassROOTS Community Foundation, I have added a few words and call to action to the guide. This resource includes words of welcome from Marley Dias, Creator of the #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign. Beginning in April, each month we will provide you with updates of new book titles. As a small organization with only two full-time staff, our resources are limited.
We have not yet catalogued all the books. Here we are sharing with you the first 700 book titles. And because of you, we have received thousands of books. Like Marley Dias, so many of you have asked for books with black girls as the main characters.
This resource guide was created in direct response to the multiple requests made by educators, parents and students.
