Introducing Reading in Black: Celebrating Black Children’s Literature

Welcome to Reading in Black, a documentary podcast that celebrates the voices, stories, and power of Black children’s literature. Why do books matter? What happens when every child can — or can’t — see themselves on the page?

Through history, storytelling, and conversations with parents, authors, and advocates, this series explores the impact of Black children’s books, the storytellers shaping today’s shelves, and the ongoing fight to keep these stories alive in classrooms, libraries, and homes.

Join us on this journey to honor beloved books, uncover untold histories, and imagine what’s possible when Black stories are centered and celebrated.

Season coming soon. Follow Reading in Black wherever you get your podcasts.
