Here are some children’s books by other authors that I like. Some of the links are “affiliate links” to Amazon.com, which means that Amazon pays me a few pennies if you end up buying the book through the link here. Your price is the same whether you use the affiliate link or find the book another way. The pennies do not influence my judgment. I only include books I’ve read and recommend. You’re free to click, look on Amazon and not buy.
Dave
Although slaves didn’t have last names, Dave the Potter: Artist, Poet, Slave tells us his inspiring story. The book about this ceramic artist and poet is written by Laban Carrick Hill (a National Book Award finalist) and illustrated by Bryan Collier. It includes some of his poetry. It is very well done. Ages 5-8.

Picasso
Just Behave, Pablo Picasso! by Jonah Winter (Author), Kevin Hawkes (Illustrator). Great
