FRIDAY EVE... just popping on to say hello. It’s FRIDAY EVE... just popping on to say hello. It’s been an whirlwind over here. Glad to finally slow down a bit. We are coming up on a year of being home bound, I’ve totally enjoyed being home and watching my kids grow and develop. It’s been such a blessing. I also long for crumb free countertops and floors 😅. #FirstWorldProblems

We are half way into Black History Month, I would We are half way into Black History Month, I would like to share a post that is very dear to me. As a mother, it is important to me that my children grow up feeling confident about their skin.

On the blog this week is a round up of some of our favourite books by black authors for the whole family. Each of these books feature diversity, inclusion and representation. These are all themes that I think are important for them to have as they develop their own identity.

I hope you will find some books on there that you can add to your library

In the meantime, what are some of your favourite children's books that feature black authors?

Shout out to @kai.dilly for this lovely shirt. Support Black Owned Business 🖤🖤🇳🇬
