I love the idea of this app. I actually do love finding books with people just like me in them because it’s nice seeing something that finally represents me and my life. But I honestly feel like it’ll be much better if we were able to read these books on this app instead of being taken to a place to get it. Like iBooks how you can just purchase the book digitally or just read it for free. I don’t mind buying a book it’s just when you download an app to read book you download a app to read book on your device not to be taken to a link that’ll tell you where you can buy the book. But above all lovely idea
This app is amazing for people of color and non poc to learn about more black authors and the stories that they have to tell of our cultures. It is beautiful that they are highlight and this is a beaming example of what Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr fought for. His message was equality and this helps gives POC authors the platform and reach that they did not have before. Thank you for this and I will be buying these books for my little cousins throughout the year.
Growing up where almost every book I read as a child had characters that did NOT have brown skin. This is awesome. In a world where we are the minority showing our children that we deserve to be the main character not the side kick. Not the girl down the street. The main character. I am an aunt and godmother and I have already used this to purchase books for the kids I love. There Asian, African American and Caucasian. We are different but we are the same in many ways and we all deserve to be a front row participant in the fabric of the world. Go girl!! Awesome app.
When I was little the only books I got to read were ones assigned by my teachers. Not many of them were written by black authors, very few had black characters. It wasn’t until I got to college that I read books written by black authors and heard black stories. This app gives little girls a chance to be exposed to black authors and read stories that resemble themselves.
Thank you for this app. I struggle to sort through all of the book lists and even Goodreads to find books by/about people of color for my daughter. It’s also difficult to communicate all of those lists to my students in my courses. This has just made my life! If I can make two suggestions: 1) it would be nice to be able to search by topic and 2) it would also be nice to either create a list that stays on the app or connects to Goodreads. Thank you again! I’ll be sharing this app in all of my young adult and multicultural literature courses!
This app has grown so much over the years and I’m so proud it has. It’s such a refreshing resource to introduce users to books written by writers/artists of color and that feature characters of color. I remember vividly the extreme effort my mom used to have to put in to find books like these for myself and my sisters growing up, because these are often not the popular children/YA books promoted by the mainstream. This would’ve been a welcome resource all those years ago and I definitely plan on continuing to use this app not just for myself, but for my future children as well.
Love the app. As a teacher I would highly recommend adding a Literacy Leveler. Each book has a literacy level which helps to ensure each child is reading a book at their appropriate reading level (so a 3rd grader doesn't get a kindergarten or 5th reading level book). Please check out the reading correlation charts for Fountas and Pinell as most books in classrooms are leveled according to their criteria. It would be a HUGE help for teachers like me whose dream is to diversify libraries AND get appropriate books into the hands of readers. Thanks!
If you're looking for books that represent your little one and tired of sifting through all those other books at the store, THIS IS THE APP FOR YOU!!! From picture books to chapter books, all POC are represented in this app, meaning our unique POC stories as well. Anyone can go to walmart and find a book about the alphabet, but what about a book explaining why you should love your hair, what activism means and why we need it, I could go on for days. Please download and BUY THE BOOKS because WE READ TOO!
I cannot tell you how happy I am that an app like this exists. I’m so glad that somebody went out that way to make this. Something to spread black culture is highly needed. The newest update makes everything super clear and easy to use. The best parts of the app are not only being able to search what I’m looking for, but also the hundreds of recommended options. There’s so much material available.
I love this app as it helps me always make good choices when it comes to books I give or read to the kids in my family or friends’ kids. Representation matters! We need books that feature smart, brave, loved, cherished black characters! Thank you for this app. Please disregard the haters — think about it: had their parents or teachers had such an app when they were little, they’d be so empathetic, conscious and self-aware. Everyone needs this app!
