A YEAR OF BLACK JOY‼ Celebrate Black joy all year long with this uplifting collection that shares the joy, talent, and contributions of 52 Black people from around the world. By sharing the many layers and dimensions of Black life and contributions that exist outside of trauma, readers of all backgrounds will be empowered to share their joy too.

Here's the publisher's description: A Year of Black Joy covers a multitude of topics, from astrology and astronomy to beekeeping and baking and includes an entry for every week of the year. Each contribution is tied to a particular season, event, or celebration. An illustrated, nonfiction component to each entry--such as a guide to healing plants or a tour of the night sky--lets readers dive further into the activity. (SEE COMMENT SECTION)

Presented in a beautiful hardcover format and featuring stunning full-color illustrations from Jade Orlando, A Year of Black Joy is a book to be treasured for years to come. (Recommended: Ages 8 to 12, Grades 3 to 7)
