Children's Literature by Black Authors: A Culturally Responsive Approach to Reading Instruction (A Resource Guide for Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 5 Teachers) consists of over 100 children's books written by Black authors. Each book is listed as a mentor text for specific reading comprehension skills such as finding the main idea, sequencing, determining cause and effect, and making inferences/drawing conclusions. Each book's description lists the following components: full title, author(s), illustrator, publisher, genre, summary, theme, interest level and reading age.
