The Beautiful Blackbird Children's Books Festival was designed as a virtual experience to celebrate Black illustrators and children’s book authors. We hope that you and your young children will enjoy listening to and reading these beautiful books featuring Black characters. All are welcome to join us all Summer as we celebrate (virtually) Black children’s books created by Black writers and illustrators. 


The Beautiful Blackbird Website is Your Festival Home Base. Check out the menu at the top of the page to see and learn about the books we are featuring. Pay attention to our social media (Instagram and Facebook) between now and August 31st to hear about our featured books, illustrators, and writers!
