Another Story Bookshop’s Bunchbrary
A couple weeks ago, we found some great movies to watch during Black History Month. To find what books we should read with our kids to teach them about Black History, we turned to Another Story Bookshop in the Roncesvalles Village neighbourhood in Toronto. Another Story specializes in books about social justice, equity, and diversity, with lots of alternative kids books so we knew they’d find us some good stuff.
Picture Books:
Show Way by Jacqueline Woodson $24.00
A Show Way is a quilt with secret meanings, and the image works as both history and haunting metaphor in this exquisite picture book. Based on Woodson’s own history, the unforgettable story tells of African American women across generations, from slavery and the civil rights movement to the present.
Before There Was Mozart: The Story of Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-George by Lesa Cline-Ransome and James E. Ransome $19.99
