Positive Images of Black Girls and Women in Picture Books

Our very own Janet Noble from the Tower Hamlets School Library Service shares her top picture books showcasing powerful and celebratory stories about Black girls and women.
Janet asks you to reflect on how many images of Black girls are there in your picture book collection and if so, how many of these books feature the Black girl as playing a lead role and as a meaningful character in the book?
