I am very excited to share with you my very first children’s book, Dear Little Brown Girl. This beautiful & empowering lyrical ode, builds little girls’ self-esteem, imagination, and spirit. This book follows a little girl as she is navigating some of the obstacles of life. This book was created to remind little girls that they are beautiful, smart, and worthy. Creating positive self-images, teaching girls to love themselves, and increasing self-confidence.
About 12% of children’s book characters are Black/African American. The compelling story does center around one main character but we made sure to pay great attention to the identifying details like skin tone, hair type, etc. These added personalized details make the characters more relatable for the readers because I want every little girl to see herself in the character. It is important to create books that are more reflective of the diverse world that we live in and I believe having a diverse bookshelf will help instill positive ideas of equity, acceptance, inclusion, and understanding in our children. Representation Matters!
