Violet ★★★★★

My one-year-old loves flipping to the mirror page and smiling at herself, and the sturdy cardboard pages can handle her excitement. The rhyming text makes for a sweet bedtime read that celebrates Black joy and potential.

Nicholas G. ★★★★★

The mirror on the last page is such a sweet touch—my little one giggles every time she sees herself next to the lyrical lines about Black excellence. It’s a sturdy board book that’s already survived plenty of drool and page-turning.

George I. ★★★★★

I love that this board book features a mirror on the last page—my baby giggles every time she sees her reflection while we read about Black excellence. The sturdy pages hold up to her grabbing and chewing, which is perfect for her age. It’s already becoming a bedtime favorite.
