In 1920, as art and writing flourished during the Harlem Renaissance, W. E. B. Du Bois published The Brownies’ Book: A Monthly Magazine for Children of the Sun—the first periodical for African American youth, collecting original art, stories, letters, and activities to celebrate their identities and inspire their imaginations and ambitions. Building upon Du Bois’s mission, esteemed professor and scholar Karida L. Brown and celebrated artist Charly Palmer reimagine the groundbreaking publication with The New Brownies’ Book, gathering the work of more than 50 contemporary Black writers.

This is a fabulous audio version of a book. I bought the book first. Karida L. Brown and Charley Palmer have masterfully written and curated an important book. I think it should be in every library. It sees the real, radiates love and never looks away. It melds historic and contemporary writers. It is for children and the fully grown. The clear table of contents breaks the works into sections and gives you a chance to see the title and author making it easy to return again to your favorites. I have marked many pages. The contributors bios at the end of the book gives you enough information to dig deeper. As Karida L Brown writes at the end of her poem, From, “…i come from a people who make a way out of no way/who make ways for others/when you feel me coming/make way.” I encourage you to “make way” for this.
