A report in 2017 from the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education discovered that of the 9,000 children books published that year only 1% had a Black, Asian or ethnic minority main character. I’ve set up a website called MyBheasy which recommends Black children’s books from across the diaspora to buy and provides free fun kids Black history activities. If you’d like to diversify your children’s book collection check out www.mybheasy.com
