Rockridge Press Black Heroes: A Black History Book for Kids: 51 Inspiring People from Ancient Africa to Modern-Day U.S.A.

I bought this for my children they love it and so do I, we have all learned a lot about a lot of important and very influential people! This was definitely a good educational investment and I have started following the Arthur! I also appreciate all her books are affordable for all! I would definitely recommend! I would actually like to ENCOURAGE EVERYONE to buy this book!!!

Very informative. It is a good preparation for children. It is a good preparation for black children so that they can have an understanding of those who pave the way for us

Great content. Pages are nice and thick making it easy for those young hands to manipulate. Arrived in mint perfect condition.

I bought this book to be a table topper or a shelf standee on my bookshelf. The content is easy enough for most people (including young children) to understand, and the content related to the people highlighted in this book is straightforward and presents them in an easy-to-understand format. The illustrations in the book are absolutely sublime. (Holy Cow!!)What I like most, however, is that it always provides good sources and further information on each of the heroes presented in the text. This would make it an excellent starting point for kids that are looking for heroes to write about in their classes. This is a book I wish that I had as a kid, or even throughout high school a few times when I had to select influential people to write essays on. This would have been a good starting point over a list of names; as it allows you to find a person with whom your interests align. There are plenty of artists, writers, entertainers, and various STEM engineers alike.

I love the content of this book. The history is kept simple and to a nice length (around two sides of reading) so my children can read about one person and discuss with ease. I adore the layout - it's is exactly what I was looking for with a large colourful picture taking up a whole page which captures the kids' interest before they start reading. The book is in chronological order which makes it easy for me to incorporate with the school history curriculum and, again, the pictures help to put each hero in their historical context at first glance. The only downside I would say is that this book deserves a much better quality print. It's the type of book I'd like to keep on the bookshelf for years but unfortunately, it appears to be printed cheaply. I hate to say this because I really do love this book, i just think it deserves that extra bit of care. Thank you.
