It's not a children's book, but there is a great book for parents (and anyone) called "Why are all the black kids sitting together at the cafeteria?" it's a very easy read that gives great examples for teaching race/racism in the USA to your kids and other adults too. I highly recommend it!

This book isn’t African fairy tales, but classic European ones with all black characters. I love that they all had different styles of black hair in the book as well. The stories are Cinderella, Beauty & the Beast, Little Red Riding Hood, and a few more.

My daughter liked all of these books:

I’m excited to get this book:
I just love the image of Rapunzel with long dreadlocks. They do other fairy tales with people of color too.

I picked this up last year and read it to my daughter all the time:
