Reading to your kids: Black History Month.

We're big proponents of reading to our kids, and historical celebrations give us all lots of opportunities to educate our children through the art of storytelling. This week, we've made a list of our favorite stories to read to your children during Black History Month. We think these are the perfect books to share history with young kids, and we'll be featuring some of these titles during our story times in Midtown.
 
Children's author Emilie Buchwald  once said, "Children are made readers on the laps of their parents." We couldn't agree more.
