Kwame’s Bookshelf is a blog by Erica Campayne where she collects and describes children’s books with Black protagonists and/or main characters with disabilities.
The mother of a Black son had become aware of the lack of representation of children in most books and wants to use her blog to point out alternatives.
The collected and reviewed works on her blog are not all fundamentally free of discriminatory portrayals, stereotypes, or normative role models. Nevertheless, a look at the collection is generally recommended, as quite a few strengthening and encouraging children’s books are pointed out.
