Here’s to the first African American author/book I am sharing this month! Do you know about this one? I had never heard of it until I was doing research for books to share and I thought it would be interesting to share about a book we probably don’t hear about much.
The book BUBBER GOES TO HEAVEN was written by Arna Bontemps in the early 1930s. Bontemps was a poet, novelist, and a librarian! This book is one of the very first children’s books written by an African American with African Americans in the story.
And I found it on Amazon! It’s a short book – less than 100 pages. I am looking forward to sharing more books/authors with you all.
