This book is about an Aunt who is blessing the food, but is taking WAY to long! I selected this book because this is a African American/ Black experience that is common and humorous. I can remember coming home from church to have Sunday dinner with the family and an elder family member was asked to bless the food, or say grace, and peeping my eyes open to see if they were done yet. It is all to funny because it is not uncommon to be standing saying grace for at least 5 minutes or longer while the food gets cold. This is an experience I cannot wait for this thanksgiving!

This book is about a young girl and her nana simply spending time with each other. I selected this book because it is common for African American children to love to spend time with their grandparents, some who may be raised by them as well. As a child I spent majority of my time with my grandmother due to my mom working two full time jobs to make ends meet. I love every moment of the time with her as she was my superhero. This book details how the little girl enjoys every moment she shares with her nana.

This book is about a little boy who is going to the barbershop for the first time! I selected this book because the barbershop is an experience that every African American male may take part in. The barbershop has history and stories told of bonding between men. I would love to hear my brother come home and tell me about the experience he had at the barbershop with our father.

This book is about a young girl who wants to audition for the role Snow White, however her peers do not believe she is the right person for the role due to her height, weight, and skin tone. I selected this book because when I was growing up, it was very common for African American/Black girls to want to be white princesses due to those being the common ones read and on television. When I was a young girl I would always say "Cinderalla can be black too" and I believe this story demonstrates just that.
