“Board Book Bonanza” will highlight the wealth of excellent board books being published for babies and young preschoolers for parents and caregivers to share with their little-ones. It's never too early to have fun and learn about science, art, history and so much more!

The following is a list of positive and loving board books for babies available in the Trove to celebrate Black History Month:

Be Boy Buzz by Bell Hooks & Christopher Raschka
“Brown-skinned boys with long, curving arms and curly hair lope and leap across sienna-colored pages; bright squiggles of scribbled design add a geometric counterpoint to the flowing lines of kids with big, open hearts and sweet minds, ready for the world. A wonderful collaboration, this book is as exuberant as the boys it describes.” – School Library Journal

Baby Says by John Steptoe
“Steptoe ingeniously uses only seven distinct words to tell his relatable sibling-dynamics tale, with the story’s significant drama, emotion, and humor carried by the riveting pictures (as is ideal for babies and toddlers). Welcome back, Baby! – Horn Book Guide

I Love My Hair by Natasha Anastasia Tarpley & Earl B. Lewis
“In this gracefully told story, a young African-American heroine celebrates her lovely head of hair as part of her heritage.” – Publishers Weekly

I Love Me by Sally Morgan & Ambelin Kwaymullina
“Two smiling brown-skinned children, sometimes joined by a black-and-white spotted dog, are haloed in variously colored auras that emphasize their singularity and seem to radiate self-love…You just gotta “love, love, love” this joy-filled book.” – Kirkus Reviews
