8 Great Kids’ Books to Read for Black History Month

Ada Twist, Scientist

Age range: 5 – 7 years
One of our favourite picks, this fun book features a strong heroine who constantly questions everything around her and wants to know what the world is all about. Whether she's making up science experiments or developing hypotheses, Ada Twist demonstrates that it's a good thing to have passion and perseverance. Our kids love the silly parts of the story (Why are there hairs up inside your nose?) and the rhyming language —and you'll love the fact that it helps celebrate young, strong girls of colour...and the theme of STEM.
