From boogying in the Bronx to riding horseback down the early morning streets, from visiting the moon and talking to the stars to choosing the perfect baby name and fighting for civil rights: these powerful expressions of Black joy, strength, and beauty are unforgettably brought to life in picture books by C.G. Esperanza (Boogie Boogie, Y’all and My Daddy is a Cowboy), Stephanie Seales (My Daddy Is a Cowboy), Breanna J. McDaniel (Impossible Moon), Seina Wedlick (Naming Ceremony), and Angela Dalton (To Boldly Go: How Nichelle Nichols and Star Trek Helped Advance Civil Rights).
